Single Miller trigger
 

I have a Parker VH in good condition, 1927. It has a Miller trigger (aftermarket) installed. Can anyone tell me what discount I should apply when trying to value the gun due to the aftermarket trigger?

Since its a Miller there should be no discount and maybe a premium!

Miller single triggers work.

Definitely a premium if for no other reason that Miller Single Trigger Parkers are less plentiful than others

Thank you, gentleman. Is there a person in the San Francisco Bay Area who could give me a honest value of this gun?

A consideration you should keep in mind is that Miller SST are usually installed on guns used by hunters, rather than collectors. FYI a Miller SST now costs about $1400 installed. One of the top reasons—in my opinion—you don't see a lot of them being installed anymore.

What are the particulars about the gun, i.e. grade, gauge, barrel length, furniture etc.?

My wife wanted a single trigger sxs and we had to pay a premium for it. There just aren't many out there. It is a good reason to get used to double triggers and not look back

John, the gun is VH grade with 30" barrels, manufactured in 1927. I am not familiar with your term "furniture," perhaps you could explain so I could define it better.
Thank you,

Thanks for your response. Furniture, in my parlance are the things shown below. Sometimes I forget I'm not chatting with someone that knows me.

What kind of butt plate and pistol grip cap does it have? The original butt plate was black hard rubber with Parker Bros. surrounding a dog head with perhaps a bird in the mouth? The pg cap is also usually black hard rubber with Parker Bros. Meriden, Conn. Is the forearm a fat wide or narrow thin piece of wood. What is inscribed on the rib of the gun. I'd like to know the serial number, too, which I can use to completely identify the manufactured history of the gun in the Parker Bros. Identification and Serialization book as to how it came out of the factory.

Hi, John, thanks for the explaination. The butt plate and the pistol grip are exactly as you described - dog head with bird (duck?) in mouth and Parker Bros. Meriden, Conn. The forearm is thin. The rib says, "Parker Bros. Makers, Meriden, CT U.S.A. Vulcan Steel. Serial number is 224741, 30 inch barrels (without a good gauge measurement device I just took a dime and one barrel is wider than the other so I assume Full and Modified??), Frame 1 1/2, Barrel weight 4, The Miller trigger is selective.
Hope this helps - quite like ancestory history

A properly functioning Miller SST is a premium and would add to the value of the gun regardless of the gun's condition otherwise.
