1891 Parker Brother 16 Ga Shotgun

[josephlong]

My father left me a PB 1891 Top Lever 16 Ga. Double Barrel Shotgun. I'm trying to find out just what I have, Here's what I know so far. It's original & unmodified, all serial numbers match and in good condition. Grade 1, Frame size 0, 30" Laminated Barrels with extractors & Barrel weight 3/12? According to recently received updated info there were only 9 of these shotguns made & I would still like to know everything possible about this shotgun.

Serial number and good pictures will help a lot.

68908 is the serial number and I think I have attached a photos

Ok. Thanks, but it has extractors, not ejectors. And there were only24 grade 1 top lever Hammergun's in 16 ga made and only 9 with 30" laminated steel barrels according to the Parker Story. Value is always dependent upon condition and by the pictures, it's hard to tell but IMHO, about 50-60% so I would guess around 4-4.5 K in value. That's just me. Others will chime in. Barrel condition and wall thickness is a big factor in price because you are basically buying for shootability Jim

Nice gun. I had a very simular one I sold 18 mo ago. I think Jim is accurate as to valus as long as the barrels are OK.
