The Parker story breaks it down to the various grades, actions & types of barrel steel for barrel lengths per gauge. As an example. I have a GH 12ga with 25" Damascus barrels. The table in the Grade 2 section of TPS lists it as one of three made in that grade for all types of barrel steels & action. I would say that makes it a fairly rare Grade 2 Parker.
IMO as far as value goes, it would be up to the individual buyer to determine based on the normal criteria of rarity, condition, gauge etc.
I would like to think the 25" barrels on my gun would add extra value to it. Especially since I have a PGCA letter verifying the barrel length along with the information provided in the Parker Story.
