If you bought the gun at an open sale or in an auction, the answer is already known as mentioned. In a case where you bought it from an individual and you believe you paid well under market value, then about the only thing that will satisfy the insurer as a base will likely be a written professional appraiser. You have to remember that in the event of a loss, you likely won't have the gun available for an appraisel at that time. The original purchase price is going to form the basis of the settlement and you will need some proof of that. Unless I am mistaken, the same will be true of the IRS on the loss. Basis is basis, and you don't realize gains until you sell. |

Thanks for the advise . I keep track of a list of values of my guns in the advent of my death my Wife has some idea of the value of my collection when she sells it ( and she will ). I’m carful not to let here see that list before my death . I don’t want her weighing the idea of offing me before my time ��
That being said . It’s nice to hear opinions members here as what they think of the gun and its condition (or lack of) . Like I said I’m very new to Parker’s and I value the knowledge base here. The gun was part of a multiple gun purchase that I made at the time. |

Unless you want to pay the additional cost of a 'Stated Value' policy, most insurance will only cover what you can document. Most times when I see these posts, the buyer obviously knows what he paid for it and what changed hands is the accepted method for value of That item. A GH on a 2 frame is perhaps one of the most common Parkers on GI, GB, or any of the gun sites. As Art says, Road Show 'appraisers' throw that bone out there to put a smile on the owners face, which irks the hell out of my wife, who retired after 50 years in Commercial insurance. It borders on fraud unless independent, actual appraisals support the higher value, which begs the question, why give it a lower value if the higher value is real? Don't forget what Gene Hill said " My biggest fear is my wife selling my guns for what I told her I paid for them." |
