Default Help with 8 ga

I'm looking at a T4 DH 8ga with 36" barrels. Wood And barrels are 90%+. CCH is about 60%. I don't have any photos. How many DH with T4s barrels were made? Can I have your opinions on a fair value? Thx

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a T4 Parker would be a Grade 4 (CH) with Titanic Steel barrels.

A very valuable Parker, presuming it to be in the condition you report.

Did I say very valuable?

Still a very valuable Parker Ray. What is the steel description on the top rib?

Best Regards, George

It sounds like the gun Steve Barnett had on display at last falls Vintage Cup. If it is the same gun it is VERY nice! He didn't have it prices at the time since he was still negotiating with the consignor. Where are you going to find another one??

Ray, assuming the gun is as you described and has no damage (bad screws, pitted bores, engraved social security numbers, cut stock or barrels and non original butt treatment) a dealer would probably "ask" $20,000 or more. Actual selling price probably between $12,000 and $18,000. Hope this helps.

I found out this fella has two 8 ga's! The other is a top lever hammer gun in the 36000 SN range. Grade 2. It has Damascus barrels but it looks like someone hit them with steel wool and they are completely sliver in color. The frame looks recolored. Stocks refinished but checkering nice and original. Overall, a real nice gun but not as high condition as the DH. Can I get an idea of the value of this gun too. Neither are really for sale but I'd like to make him an offer.

Sorry I haven't been able to post photos. The fella in kind of funny about about it and I don't want to push it.

Thx

Ray: Titanic Steel would be the correct inscription for a DH Grade Hammerless. Do all SNs match?

Best Regards, George
