Greetings all, I’m a new member and with some advice from Chuck Bishop. I realized I have stumbled upon a Parker Trygun s/n 171264 12 gauge I would like to figure out the value I’d say condition is probably 80 85 percent thank you in advance for any information

I imagine placing a value on that gun will be difficult and subjective! But what a great find!

That Try-Gun is listed in the TPS.

I think if you put that gun on an auction site like Gunbroker and start it at a $1 it will sell for exactly what it is worth. What that amount is depends on the last two guys that want it. It is a really neat gun that I think many Parker collectors would like to own.

Sorry- The Parker Story.
I have been writing an article on Try Guns for a while. I have been distracted by other PGCA duties and I still have this darn full time job.
I do not have any independent information on that particular gun.
I would love to have pictures and details.

The last one I saw sold changed hands for $10K. This was a private transaction, not an auction or gun show table deal.

James Julia, incomplete list: $12.075, $12,075 for a pair, $11,500, $9,775, $6,900, 5 different guns. There may be more, but I lost my contact. These are Parker factory guns. I have not seen a Parker Arthur P. Curtis try gun sold in 47 years. I have no idea of the present value of such a gun.
