value: Parker VH 1916 20Ga.

[gbsharrett]

Can anyone help me determine the approximate value of a Parker that I have on a 5 day hold at Cabela's.

It is labeled as a VH, serial number is 134944 (made in 1916), 20 Ga, 28" barrels choked Imp cyl and imp mod.

There are no obvious big blemishes on the wood or metal. Some rust is seen on the barrel and more under the triggers. Some bluing remains. Screws look clean, no damage. The barrels are Trogen Steel. The wood appears to be original, not re-finished. On the inside of the receiver are the letters CV and to the right of that the numbers 3, 5. The three is larger than the five and is up and to the right of the three, like three to the fifth power would be written. What is this?

The initials JG are inside a six sided box. The number 0 is in the center of the lock as is the number 20. What do these mean? Is this frame size and gauge?

I have included some photos.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
George
