John: In addition to the great responses above you might also wish to check Greg Martin Auctions in California, "Prices Realised", to get a feel of what Parkers bring on the West Coast. Parker values, condition being equal, go up in value exponentially as the gauge gets smaller and the grade gets higher. Bore and barrel condition are extremely important. Also is provenance. I would order a research letter, $40, on your Parker, if available.
Best Regards, George
