If that gun is factory original and the letter supports 3 barrels ,I think that price range is a bit low.

As to price, don't forget the chopped stock. David

David
you are right,that blows the "factory original" in my post and puts the gun back lower.

Provenance of multi barrel sets in that serial number range usually involves close inspection by experienced Parker collectors more than factory documentation. I don't know how to explain what to look for, but I know it when I see it.

How detramental is haveing the stock cut?

What do I need to do to make sure that that the provenance is correct for this gun?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Tom: What is the LOP to the end of the wood. I'm sure that someone here has a spare skeleton butt plate laying around that could be expertly fitted to the stock. BTW you need to find that letter IMHO.

Best Regards, George

Tom, being a trap gun, you may find the gun was ordered with a pad, so it really isn't detrimental to the value of the gun. The majority of trap guns were ordered with pads.

Send for a PGCA Research Letter to learn more about your Parker.

The link for a letter is on our Home page.

A chopped stock has a considerable effect on price, at least 3-4000$ and the gun will never be original even if you replace the stock with a good reproduction or other remediation. It is the kind of thing that makes a collector weep. Also remember what Bill Murphy said about the barrels. Please bargain hard for the gun as you will end up spending money to put the gun right and $ value is always what someone else is willing to pay you for it. Looks like a nice gun with great potential for shooting. Good luck!!! David

Find the letter!! It should indicate if the gun originally came with a pad.

Tom Cottingham 12-13-2011 02:51 PM

Ok

I followed your advice. I joined PGCA and I sent off for another letter I think that it got thown out some how, easy enough fix.

I will let you know when i get it.

Again THANK YOU for all of the help

Tom
