P2 Grade Parkers
 
I have my eye on three P2 Grade Parkers, (serial #s beginning with 214, 228 and 234) all 16 gauge, hammerless with ejectors and nice engraving. Each gun is in very fine condition. They are priced around $5,000 each. Would like an opinion on the value.

Pretty hard to tell you without pics and the details

Barrel length us one factor as is frame size

What is a P2 ?

Stewart McLeod 06-15-2016 09:25 PM

Don't have pics or frame size
2 have 28" barrels; 1 has 26"
P2 Grade is straight out of Parker Guns Identification and Serialization book

Any educated guess will be appreciated.

Grade 2 guns with Parker Special Steel What are the frame sizes?

Steve Huffman 06-15-2016 09:45 PM

Jim beat me to it xxxxx

Thanks for reply Jim. P2 is Parker Special Steel Grade 2. All are Frame Size 1.
214076 is GHE
228568 is GHE
234433 is DH

I was told that P2 = G grade. Is that correct?
I'm still learning..... I own 3 V grade Parkers and would like to acquire a finer gun.

Jim DiSpagno 06-16-2016 10:00 AM

Yes, P2 = Grade2 or GH with typical grade 2 engraving. D grade is Grade 3

Jim DiSpagno 06-16-2016 10:03 AM

GH grade would typically have Damascus steel barrels until the advent of fluid steel then Parker Special Steel. Dh grade would be Damascus steel then Titanic steel. There are exceptions but generally that is the rule.

They're all worth $5000. Buy all three.
