I'll ask the Mrs. if she'll take some pics of it for me. The ser # is 67500. Hopefully pictures will follow... Thanks!

Your gun isn't listed in the "Parker Gun Identification & Serialization" book. The records for some guns are missing from the book, but it looks like the PGCA database has information on it (based on the Research Letter link on the home page). You may want to get a letter from them.

Here are some pictures, I had some trouble sizing them so they'd fit. Not sure how well they will turn out when I try to upload them. Thanks for all your help.

The 1-frame was the standard for the 16 gauge and for the "light" 12 gauge.
The barrels and barrel wall thickness should be examined and measured before firing the gun but, presuming it passes with flying colors, you will be able to shoot low-pressure (under 8,000 p.s.i.) 2 1/2" ammo available from a number of sources - a favorite being RST in Friendsville Pa. |

I know it's not much that I've shared, but based on photos and serial #, any idea the approx value of my new shotgun? Not a big deal, I didn't spend a whole lot at the auction I got it from, so it's already worth more than I paid to me, so I'm satisfied, but would like to know your opinions.

Hard to put a value on a gun with only seeing a few pics and knowing nothing about the condition of the barrels to say nothing of whether they have been cut - which is not uncommon at all and which seriously affects the value of such a gun. Just throwing out a WAG I would say not more than $1,500 and quite possibly, significantly less depending on many factors.
