Parker identification please
 

I might be looking at a 10 gauge Parker tomorrow. It is Damascus barrels and a lifter mechanism.I don’t have a serial number.

It is a grade 1 with twist barrels. (Could be stub twist). In this period they were doing rolled “engraving” on this grade.

It looks like a relatively decent example. With original finish and decent condition. Short of the cracked stock. But it could be worse.

What is the going rate for one of these?

Put it on Gunbroker.com with a one-cent reserve and you will learn it’s value.

Ok. Just didn’t know if it was overpriced. Thanks

Well what did you pay for it? Considering the broken stock, I'd say $1200 - $1500.

Haven’t bought it yet. Hopefully I will see it tomorrow. He wants $750

If the bores are clean and the barrels haven't been bobbed I'd say buy iy for that price... lower if you can but that price isn't bad at all. Once you have the stock professionally repaired you'll be at about the right price for it.
Once you get the serial number we can tell you the original length of the barrels.

He said the barrels are 32” and very clean

As long as they weren’t originally 34” you’ll be okay. The serial number will be the last word.
