Charlie,

I will use some #2 That Tom Armbrust loaded for me awhile back.

them no 2 s are good ..boy old tom loads a fine shell..he s loaded some for me really nice fellow....

Collector value and replacement cost, in my opinion and based on 30 plus years of observing and buying Parker 8 gauges, would be about double Mr. Murphy's suggestion. Many more and better close up pictures would make it much easier to place a more exact value on the gun. From the pictures shown, I would state that it appears to be in much better condition than the average hammer 8.

I agree with Bill Zachow on the price level.

But I have to say...my eyes could be wrong but that LOP doesn't look like it's 14" +. I know the big frames skew appearances but I still wonder if the stock has been cut down.

I concur, that if the gun is clean, unrusted, and original, with unpitted bores, the gun would be worth what Mr. Zachow suggests.

The stock hasnt been touched its been in a parlor closet for the last 100 years. NOTHING has been altered or replaced.

More pictures I have asked Aaron to provide more detail pictures of the water table barrel flats, etc. Hopefully we will get these shortly.
