3 Parkers inherited

An uncle left me and my brothers these guns a few years back. None of us know anything about them, and were wondering if we could get some help with value and identification. I have checked everything out through the web site, and it appears as though we have a DH, an AH, and a VH. I have attached a couple of pics of each one, and have more if any body would like to see them.
Thanks in advance...

Kirk,
I think it's safe to say we all wished we had an uncle like yours.:bowdown: Parkers like most collectables have values that are greatly affected by condition, but also grade, options, etc. If you would give a description of each gun, (gage, barrel length, etc.) and some clear photos of each someone may be able to give you a ballpark value.

Kirk,The serialization book lists serial number 215981 as a D grade 12 gauge with 28" barrels,ejectors and straight grip stock.153850 is listed as a an A grade 12 gauge with 30" barrels,ejectors and a pistol grip stock.121301 is not in the book.From the first photos the guns look to in good condition.Could you post more photos? Also getting a factory letter for each gun from this site may prove to be very interesting.

Kirk,
I just noticed the stampings on the water table out near the hinge pin on the A grade. Can you get a pic of those markings?

Dave Suponski 10-24-2009 10:48 AM

Ya Larry,I was wondering about that also.British proof marks?

I zoomed in on what was there and it seems to be readable. I don't know what it is though?

Proof Marks
 
The 2 proof marks are of the Austrian proof house at Ferlach.
