Thank you I do not plan on trying to work on it myself now that I have done more resurch. I will try and contact someone to get some info about cleaning up and getting the gun ready to shoot. I am just not so sure about shipping the gun. ( never shipped one before). The gun is stored and has been stored with all my other guns in a temp and humidity controlled room. Thanks again for all the advice I am new to the older guns.

Also I hate to ask but am having problems finding out what the gun might be worth. I do not plan on selling it but would like to up my insurance to cover the gun. Thanks for any help.

If you want to have a rough number for insurance. Use $5,000 as a value.
Obviously an actual retail number would be based on close evaluation of the gun and it's condition.

That is a great gun . . . and a family heirloom to boot! You don't see that every day. You can surf around here and get some names of the good gunsmiths to use. Make sure you use someone who specializes in vintage guns like yours.

It is really cool being able to find out all this info about the gun. I can't wait till I am able to join and save up for a letter. No one is sure in the family if my great grandfather was the one who bought the gun from the factory. When talking with family they don't think he is because for the most part he was poor. I will let everyone that is fallowing know when I find out.

This is not meant as an endorsement nor to exclude any of the fine gunsmiths who work on Parkers, but from personal experience and the experience of others I am in communication with, I will say that Brad Bachelder has a great deal of experience with high grade Parker hammer guns such as yours.

Thank you for the advice I really don't know anyone who knows how to work on the older guns. I would much rather get a recommendation then just guess.
