Neighbor left me her daddy's shotgun
 
Parker Brothers GHE #1 frame 30" Damascus 12 gauge SXS
Serial # 124,672 1906 6 Lbs 15 ounces capped pistol grip
The Parker book doesn't show the ejectors were ordered but
they were definitely installed by Parker.(I think)
I cannot find a single exact example of this gun anywhere
so my question is, how rare is it.
I have a letter from the PGCA that says Parker probably
installed the ejectors, there's just no record of it.
The condition is pretty poor but original, some screws are boogered up, bluing is almost gone. damascus pattern is hard to see,stock is dark and dirty,but the bores are as shiny as can be, no rust, no pitting.so any help as to it's
rarity and possible worth would be appreciated.
I most likely will have this gun restored if it's worth the trouble.
I,ll provide pictures later.
Thanks for reading, E

Welcome Ellen

what a nice bequest

Probably worth $1,000 give or take.

Is it worth restoring? Depends on what you want to end up with. A gun you enjoy shooting or a gun you can sell and make money off of....
