Jeff,

Please know that you must be a PGCA member to sell your gun using this forum. Now you haven't even decided to sell it yet but one thing leads to another...

As for value. most will not value a gun unless it is in their hands for examination. The barrels are 26" which seem a little short for a #1 frame 16 gauge. If the barrels have been cut the value in most cases is half of what it would be if original. Also a #1 frame is a heavy 16 gauge and not as desirable as the lighter #0 frame guns in the same gauge. What do the choke constrictions measure? What is the minimum barrel wall thickness? Are the bores smooth and shiny or pitted? Are the barrels tight on the action with the forend removed, i.e. "on face". As for value from what I can see in your photos, $500 to $2000 depending on answers to my questions and other factors.

If you decide to sell your Parker the forum has a member's section with For Sale and Wanted to Buy sections. The cost of membership is $40 per year and includes a subscription to the quarterly magazine PARKER PAGES.

Mark
