Parker 12ga Grade "D"
 
I have come across a new shotgun and was needing some help on what it is and what it might be worth? So here goes:

Parker 12ga. Model D

It’s a 1930’s model D - Parker 12 gauge double barrel shotgun in very good condition with the original blueing on it and original stock. The serial number is 236990. It has steel barrels, not damascus. It is a trap gun and I was told it is a "D" grade. The receiver has a setter engraved on the left, a pointer engraved on the right and a pheasants engraved on the bottom. It has a beaver tail forearm and double ivory beads. It has case hardened blueing on the receiver and blueing on the barrels. The blueing on the barrels is in great shape. It is a single trigger with extractors, not ejectors. I recently saw one like mine at the Cabela's collector gun room priced at $5,000, but really don't know what it might be worth? Someone told me that my configuration is really pretty rare!

This site will not let me upload my pictures correctly so if anyone is intereted in looking at this shotgun please send their email address and i will be more than happy to email all the pictures of the shotgun that I have.

Hello Cameron. What is the length of the barrels?

CameronKulbeth 07-07-2009 04:53 PM

28"

28" is a very unusual length for a trap gun. Most were 32" and far fewer were 30" while I believe 28" would be rare.

Where would I find any detailed information on it? Like value? Who owned it? Where it went? How many were made like this? Etc?
