Parker Brothers Makers side by side - 1930

[Joe Lester]

Hello everyone. I have a Parker double barrel shotgun made in Meriden, CT. Serial number puts it as an early 1930 date of manufacture.

It is a bit rusty as you can see from the picture.

I am trying to value this firearm so any help would be appreciated. What other information do folks need?

Thanks to all.

Joe

What you have is a Parker Trojan. Likely in 12g.

The rust is an issue and looks like it is severe enough to where it may have caused some permanent finish issues.

Usable 12g. Trojans are usually worth between $500 and $1,000.

First thing you need to do is get the rust off of it :shock: then you will be able to see what it's condition is like.
