I just found my first Parker. I believe that I have found it is an 1881 grade 1 lifter 12 gauge with twist barrels and a straight stock. I actually had a guy try to give it to me, but before he opened the bag he told me that he had got this shotgun from his uncle 18 years ago when he passed away and his wife was making him get rid of his guns after the Aurora Colorado shooting. Before he opened it, I told him that before I see it or know what it is, I would like to at least give him what was in my wallet. I offered him the $100 and then we went to open it and see what he had. Turns out it was this Parker and in around 75%.
I have no idea what it is actually worth, but it is a beautiful gun to join my collection.
