Can anyone help me with information on this Parker?

SN 77269.
I know nothing about Parkers so any information would be helpful. Thank you! (I have multiple guns I'd like to find information on. Is this the correct thread to do that?) |
The book says it's a D3 Hammerless 12ga with a capped pistol grip and 30 inch barrels.
So, it is a DH with Damascus barrels that were 30 inches long when it left the factory in 1893. Nice looking gun that appears original. Those damascus barrels look great on the outside, how are they in the bores? |

Here are more photos of the barrels. What would I be looking for in the bores? Does that mean looking up the barrels? What is good and what is bad?
|
It's a 1 frame. It's hard to see the numbers but it appears it's D 4 damascus, and 3lb 6oz unstruck barrel weight.

Looking up the bores. After running a patch on a cleaning rod up the bores, you should see nothing but shiny bright finish, no dark spots, no rust or pits.

A very handsome Parker.

More pictures
Illuminated pictures of the stock on either side could provide some more interest. If you only have a cell phone for pictures, take it outside in the sunshine and take a picture or two of either side of the stock and forend so we can see the grain in the wood please.

In picture number 2 we can see the stock head has it’s original factory finish evidenced by the elevated sap pores.

Stock finish and gun sale

I see some sort of liquid finish that was slopped up on the frame in that picture. But, I don't think the OP (original poster) wants to know all the technical Parker minutia about the gun; she wants to know what's my gun worth and how am I going to get top dollar for it (them) painlessly. Jill, we have a member that is an expert in these affairs and will sell your guns through his auction. His name is Josh Lowensteiner and he is honest and reliable. Contact him at 704-280-2382 or joshloew@yahoo.com and he will do right by you. |
