Identification help
 

Here's what I have: Mfg date 1891 Hammerless matched by serial number. Serial number series is 65,xxx
Barrel info and stamps are 12ga., "wgt 48" legnth 30" , frame size "1"
my research shows that 5,122 barrels were made stamped as "TWIST" that year
Ecthings and engravings match a Grade 1 PH
Double triggers, serial numbers match on all barrel, frame and fore end stock.
Original stock revarnished by granpa 40 yrs ago but uncut or changed.

Heres my problem, the grade stamp on the water table looks like an "L" with a smaller circle like a temp degree mark on the upper right of the "L" . It might even be an "I" or "P"?

Any info will help as to value, identification of the gun or suggestion of someone that has the expertise to ID this gun with a degree of authority. I can email photos if it helps (because I havent figured out how to put them here) Thanks

You may need to resize your pictures to put them on here.1024 w 768 h.

In the book as a 30in 12Ga PH. Twist barrel, capped grip

The stamp you describe is a "P".

Thanks Geoge and Bill
 

Thanks you for your input.

That is a beautiful little well kept Parker from the pictures. Should make a great shooter with appropriate shells.

Thanks, it,s going to be sold thats why I,m trying to find an approx. value.

Does anyone have an idea of value??

Without a complete description, discussion of originality and condition of the bores, it is doubtful anyone would give your a valuation closer than a range of $250 to $1500.

Bill has the value range correct. Why would you want to part with grandpa's Parker? Just asking......

Best Regards, George
