Parker Grade 2

I have an opportunity to pick up a Parker with Viskers barrels. What would be a good price? It was from 1878 by serial number.

Probably 400 dollars max

What are "Viskers" barrels, never heard of that before?

[Jim DiSpagno]

Doc he means Vickers Steel barrels

[Jim DiSpagno]

And I agree with Pat on the price point.

A hammer gun with vickers barrels? I have seen plenty of hammerless guns rebarreled by vickers. But never a hammer gun. Not that they did not do them. I just have not seen one.

The value of the gun lies in it being a shooter. The overall condition and quality of the work would be the major factor. A fluid steel hammer gun is a great thing.

Condition is everything. Please post pictures.

I once had a vickers rebarreled PH. It was a great shooter. I think I paid $600 for it and sold it a couple years later for $900. And that was about 8-9 years ago.

Vickers supplied raw barrels to Purdeys post WWII for more than a decade.
