There is no "going rate" for a DH Parker IMHO because condition and the motivation of buyers and sellers can be such subjective things. That particular DH sold for that price because that's all the market would bear on that gun. Personally I would not pay a premium for an ejector gun because I prefer extractors being primarily a shooter and not a collector. There are other features to a gun gun that draw me in, but ejectors are not one of them. As far as that GB seller, he does have a number of guns, but I don't know how many he really moves. There are several that have been in the rotation for a while. I say if you see something you like, make him an offer. All he can say is no, but you get a dialogue going. The damascus G and D grades are fantastic bargains, esp. the G-grade.
