With the usual caveat that valuing a gun without having it in hand is only to make a guess, I will submit that the $600 figure is the closest to true value and in reality, true value is probably less. The gun is Parker's lowest grade, it has a dent in the barrel, it is missing the original buttplate and we do not know the condition of the bores. There is basically no original finish left on the gun, and thus, has limited collector value. I am sorry to sound harsh, but it is what it is.
