Help me buy my first Parker

[Greg Kitchens]

Greetings from South Carolina!

A friend asked me to help him sell a couple shotguns and one is a Parker. I’ve long wanted a Parker and here is the opportunity.

Here is what it is: A 12 Gauge Grade V with Vulcan steel barrels. It was made in 1919. The frame is a 1 and the barrel weight is marked 310. All original to include the buttplate. Used and finish worn with OK bluing on the barrels and no color cases still present on the frame. The barrels are 28”. Bores are excellent and she locks up well.

I need to come up with a price that is fair to my friend but fair to me as well. What does a plain old field gun like this really sell for when passed between friends for cash? I’m assuming I do not have anything here particularly rare or collectible.

Thanks for your help!
