I don't think frame size has much, or anything, to do with value given equal condition, gauge, grade of gun. All things being equal on a 12 gauge I would choose the 1-frame.
That's just a personal preference. .

I personally think frame size plays a small part in pricing a Parker. It is more likely to be a factor to a hunter/shooter that is concerned more with weight and feel than scarcity. There are two major factors that drive the value of a Parker. #1 condition, condition and condition. #2 gauge; the smaller the gauge the higher the price compared to a gun of similar condition in a bigger gauge (8 ga may be an exception).

12s I have 1 1 1/2 & 2 frames. Each best for its intended use. I don't think frame size had much if anything to do with purchase price. Condition and general configuration barrel Length, choke,etc,did.

I agree with above except for myself I devalue the #2 frame for the simple fact that they used it for so many guns. Plus it tends to be a tad heavier and larger than I like for a 12. Otherwise I don't care.

It's somewhat personal. Some prefer smaller frame others larger. I have a 1 frame 12 and love it, but I don't find a big difference between it and my 1.5 and 2 frame 12s.
My dream gun though is a long barreled 12 on a 3 frame...while I am dreaming, throw in a set of matching 10 gauge barrels.

I like 1 frame 12's for hunting because they tend to be a little lighter. I like 2 frames for target shooting because I think they are better able to handle the wear and tear of high capacity shooting.

There's always those kicker one-off guns as well. I just saw a very high condition 32" Damascus GHE 16ga on a #2 frame sell locally here in the five figure range. The price was driven primarily by condition, but you have to admit 32" sixteens on a two frame are far & few between.
You should see the CHE 32" Damascus 12ga on a three frame that was with the sixteen. |
