Need help with old Parker Shotgun
Hello out there. I am in need of some help and advice. I have a very
old V model 12 gauge serial # 144173 Vulcan Steel barrel ~ Not a Damascus
twist. I had someone look at it to get this information as I would have
no clue what to post. This person is a serious gun collector and he had
a fellow collector also look at the gun. I am going on what they told me to
post. This is approx 1906-1907. The heel plate is in good shape, not cracked chipped or broken. There is a crack in the stock at the tang ~ I was told
it was easily repaired. There is a very small scratch on the barrel (darn kids)
I have it stored at this persons house in a gun safe so I will have to get
pictures. According to his opinion ~ and he is very humble ( ha ) and his friends opinion ~ if not for the crack and the small scratch they felt it was 50-60%.
I am hoping that if I post pictures that someone out there might be able to
direct me in the best way to sell this gun and a fair reasonable price to ask for it. These collectors thought somewhere between $1500 and $2500. This was in my fathers family and I know I should keep it that way, but my husband passed away and I have a need to sell. Thank you for any reply.
