Help estimate market value of Parker 20 guage
 

Please do NOT contact me about buying this gun-- we will be keeping the gun in the family as my uncle has offered FMV for it. So, I would love some thoughts on FMV for a:
Parker 20 guage hammerless DHE, I have the Research papers on this gun and it is Stock No 69, weighs 6lb 2 oz. Titanic Steel Barrels.
Gun is in excellent condition and has been in the family for decades as my grandfather bought it for my grandmother.

Thanks,
JT

Pricing is difficult without pics and a number of things determine price such as barrel length, ejectors, skeleton butt plate, grip type etc. a quick quest image would be north of 8.5 k at the least IMHO. I've seen them sell for as high as 12K and better.

Moderator, please move this to the appropriate forum as item is not for sale. Thanks

i think jim gave a good figure for the gun....charlie

Pictures and serial number will help us to evaluate your gun.

Thank you all for your insight. I have the seriel number at home with length of barrel, etc. Picture will be more difficult as the gun is at my mothers right now. Sorry I posted on the wrong message board-- which one should I have used?

additional info in looking for FMV (gun will be sold to family)
 

Sorry this took so long...the serial number is 195830. The PGCA letter says this gun would have been built Oct 12, 1921. DHE hammerless, 20 guage. 28 inch barrels. straight grip stock. Pics attached.

Again, thank you in advance for any and all help. My uncle and cousins want to keep this in family, but we need to agree on a fair price.

That's a very nice gun in pretty good condition. Long-barrels, small-bore, straight stock, looks like it may have a skeleton buttplate. Screws appear untouched. It's probably the dream configuration for many here. Wow.

Nice to know it will stay in the family. Whomever ordered that gun had great taste and hopefully the gun will be hunted and cared for for another generation.

I have a DHE 20 that was made in 1925 w/ 30" barrels & straight stock w/ chequered butt that I bought at auction in England of all places. I estimate it's value between $15,000 - $20,000 if that's any help.
