If it wasn't collectable we would not be having this discussion and this forum would not exist. Parker Bros shotguns represent the best in American craftsmanship historically. Therfore, there is high interest in any and everything Parker Bros. Without knowing the condition of your Parker it is hard to render judgement on value or shoot ability. The NRA website has two grading systems for firearms. One for antique firearms and one for modern. The definition of both are specific for grades from excellent, good, fair and poor. Antiques are usually those made before 1899. So it is best to look at those guideline and try to objectively see where yours is. As far as shoot ability a gunsmith needs to make that evaluation.
