It would be next to impossible to accurately appraise a Parker, Fox, LC Smith, Ithaca, etc. without having the gun in hand. A Stevens 311, perhaps. An interested owner would do better going to the "prices realised" section of the major gun auction sites and comparing what he has with those sold. Provenance is another matter and if a factory letter is available, perhaps he should order that first. A free appraisel is usually worth about as much as it cost. IMHO.
