12 gauge Parker shotguns

[Craig Larter]

No question the market for small bore Parkers keeps accelerating, just look at the asking prices of major dealers and auction results from top auction houses. They must be selling to someone. 12ga above C grade also bring strong prices if in original condition. The lack of supply of 12 ga C grade and above keeps prices strong and growing. 12ga in grades 0,1,2, are dogs in the market unless in very high condition. As many have stated it's just supply and demand. The internet has changed everything including Parker sales and values. It's a national market with literally thousands of choices if your searching for a Parker. The best value in Parkers today is a 12ga DH(E).

Pat, one of my 1/2 frames is a two barrel set in 12 and 16. Thanks for mentioning the possibility.

I completely agree with this statement. I’m surprised at how LITTLE a 12 gauge DH(E) brings these days! I can’t afford NOT to have one! Which means that’s the next thing I’ll have to actively seek.
