Value is a combination of condition, grade, gauge and rarity

One way to estimate value is to watch the sales site and see what similar guns sell for.

Good clear pictures may help determine some of the factors above

The Blue Book of Gun Values will give you a very basic idea of value but it is NOT the "last word" in estimating your Parker's value.

Saying you've got an 1880 Parker and wanting to know what it's worth is like saying you've got a 1957 Chevy and wanting to know what it's worth. It might be a rusted out junker panel truck or it might be a mint two door convertible.
