Maybe if you gave it to a shoemaker to fix.
A Good stock man can fix that so it would be very difficult to detect.

Clean it up. Fix it up. Bring it back. We will do it again as is. Gerald

Bill it's the crystal Ball of Parker values, I'm surprised you don't have one. mine says your 410 VHE skeet gun is worth $5000. I'm sending a check to Linda please ship to my home address.:)

You wouldn't want my .410 skeet. It is a field used shooter, just like I have been looking for for 50 years. A beater. Maybe I'll bring it to the Northeast.

No. It has various condition issues and could have cared for a tad better over the years. It's probably in what one might terms 50% condition - half the Parkers you see are better, half are worse.

Mine is WAAAAAAAAAY worse, you should see it LOL :)

But all joking aside Mr. Brown....this group is one of the best, honest, kindest, and most knowledgeable when it comes to your Parker. They wouldn't bs you and they shoot straight from the hip with no sugar coating when it comes to their opinion. Each one has something valuable to contribute when it comes to their thoughts, knowledge and opinions....some in your favor and some not. My old Parker has definitely seen better days but these guys gave me their honest opinion when I didn't know a thing about what I had etc. They know their Parker's from front to back because they own them, shoot them, research them and enjoy everything about them.

My point being....take everything with a grain of salt and take each bit of information and opinion to be 100% honest. Great group here really. IMHO:bigbye:

He wants to know what it is worth. A better way to find out is put it on Gun Broker with no reserve.
