Thank you for a quick reply. I have a DH 16g made in 1911 w/2 bbls 28" & 30". I have an offer of 9k.

I'd pay more for a straight grip stock on any gun. I think recent sale information would substantiate that preference, too.

When I visited New England Arms in Kittery Point, ME back in 2001, their salesman, Steve McCarthy, told me that a straight gripped Parker typically will sell for about $1000 more than a pistol gripped Parker of the same grade. Reason: Rarity, as he estimated PG outnumbers SG 10:1.

I think, unless the gun in question was very high condition and otherwise desirable, Steve’s estimate of $1,000 is a bit of a reach… JMHO

They are rarer, but the value is only effected if the buyer likes Straight grip stocks and wants to pay a premium.

I love the straight grip stock on my SA SBT. Although not the typical choice of trap shooters, it works pretty well for me.
