Condition and originality determine price... unless it's one of the 5 twenty-gauge SBT's made by Parker.

Get good pictures and post them here. You’ll get a fair estimation of the value.

No, definitely not a 20 gauge. Pointless to post photographs at this point as the asking price is about 3 times of comparable ones I found on auction sites such as Morphy's and their predecessor James Julia's. The ones I found as sold were, if anything, in better condition, and this was when sales prices were stronger.
It amazes me how cheaply one can purchase a SBT C Grade Parker even these days. If one purchases a decent one at auction, I suppose. They required much craftsmanship, so not sure why they sell so cheaply at auction, other than a side by side Parker is just more iconic. Around here, I'm getting the impression that the attitude is "it's a Parker", and so it MUST be a high dollar gun. Maybe it's something in the water... |

Sometimes it is better to walk away than to strain a relationship/friendship. .

Why are these fine examples of craftsmanship available relatively so cheaply? |

Lack of demand. But don’t speak too loudly. Don’t want the word to get around about what a bargain they are.

I would love a Parker SBT. Problem is whenever they are affordable and available I'm not in the market for one. For as seldom as I'd shoot a SBT I'm not going to spend a lot on one.
