1889 10 ga. DH Value

Thank you for the post. Yes the action on this is really tight. The lever sits just to the right and it locks up solid. There is some pitting just past the chambers but the rest of the bore is shinny.

Be sure you point out to potential buyers that it is a 3 frame 10, with a dog engraved on the floor plate. The dog is found on the earlier hammerless guns; later guns have the array of birds.

Best, Austin

I have a similar gun, but on a 2 frame. I think $3,500 would be a fair price. I love mine and kill a few ducks with it every year.

From what I see, all the screws appear properly indexed except these two. They may have been installed on the wrong side (Not by Parker). If you have proper fitting hollow ground screw driver (turn screw) tips, you might want to trade sides and see if they don't line up with the long axis of the gun, rather than what appears to be the same several degrees clockwise. Makes for a better advertising picture if selling on-line. I would start with the top screw in the picture to see if the screw bottom has a score line across it. Left side of the gun screws are marked like that to ensure they end up in the proper spot. If that screw is indeed marked, then both have been over torqued (not good) I would then re-install that screw to the correct alignment and back off the other one slightly. If that screw is not marked then I would remove the other one and trade them around. Cheers, Jack

BTW, ignore the + sign statement. This image needs to be redone. The + sign can be found on the single screw ahead of the trigger bow when all three screws are of the same length. When the third screw is longer, it is not marked, as there can be no confusion.

Thanks for the info on the screws. I have put the parker at the gun store for more exposure. Next week I will have some time to check the screws on the bottom. I posted the gun for $6500.00. I believe this might be on the high side for this gun. Next step is to get the letter.

I purchased a very similar gun a little over a year ago for 2750. The gun I purchased had a skeleton butt plate, which most would consider a plus on the value side. I purchased my gun from a well known dealer.
