Help
I was recently offered a Parker shotgun after the owner took it to a gun store to sell. He was asking $15K and the gun store told him to take a hike. I know a little(a dangerous thing) about old shotguns but could use some help. It is a side by side shotgun and the barrel rib says "PARKER BROS. MAKERS.MERIDEN.CT.U.S.A.PARKER SPEC.STEEL". The action is stamped with the serial number 191029 and a 2 underneath. The barrel has a 12 with a dot above it on the lug and a 1 1/2 under the 12. There is also a large P.S stamped on the flat. There is a larger 3 with a superscript 13 as well. There is also a small B just behind the lug.
From what I can tell it is a 12 gauge with a 1 1/2 frame most likely made about 1920. I think the "2" makes it a GH model. It has an english stock and a leather break down case that is oval with a sewn in sock for the barrel and a wooden cleaning rod. I am trying to figure out the chokes but I think the only may to do that is measure the barrels.
Can you give me any more info and an approximate value?
