Parker 10 gauge, value range

I would like the experts on this site to give me a value range for my gun. I got my research letter back, and the gun looks to be exactly configured as it was when it left the factory. It is a Lifter action hammer gun, Damascus steel barrels, 32" barrels, it was a $75.00 gun, and a grade 2. I will try and get as many pictures uploaded as I can. Thanks for any thoughts.

Nice gun, looks to have shootable stock height. Nice condition for its age. Probably has 2 5/8 chambers, Great gun, good for you, hope you have fun with her.

Value of maybe $1,000 to $1,500. General range given what we can see here. Bore condition cannot be determined this way and could sway the value to either end of the scale.

Thanks, but I'm looking to sell it.

If the bores are good I think Brian's number is a bit low.

Thanks for the info. There is a local custom gun builder, that I can get exact measurements.

Dan,
My advice for selling this gun would be to get as much info as you can and provide 20-30 good pictures of the gun and sell it on a gun auction such as Gun Broker. Start the gun at $100 dollars with a good description and it will sell for exactly what it is worth. Another option is to ask the $1000 - $1500 estimate guy to get out his checkbook and buy your gun at his estimated low value. Good luck on the sale of your gun.

nice gun, 32" dam barrels, POW grip and some case color.

My estimate is a conservative one based on a few photos that he posted. Things like bore condition cannot be accurately assesed in an on-line forum. And things like that are what can make or break value on these guns.
Would you rather me give him a high number with the result being one more person thinking their gun is worth more than it is because some guy on the internet told him it might be?

Come to think of it, i dont even know why I added my thoughts on value, i normally try to not comment on such things for exactly this reason.
