Default Value of my Parkers

My husband recently passed away and I need to sell his two Parker shotguns. Could anyone direct me to someone for an appraisal?

Carolyn,

It would help if we knew in which state do you reside? There are knowledgeable PGCA members and dealers with good reputations that might be located nearby and may be able to help you.

I suggest you go slow and get several opinions. After you get a feel for their worth, you may consider talking to one of the bigger Parker dealers and see if they would sell them on consignment. But, to do the best, take your time.

I think Robin is right take it slow and I truely think consigning the guns to a highend dealer would be the way to go. Most charge 15% but they should be able to get top dollar for your guns. The two that come to mind that sell a lot of Parkers are, Puglisi Gun in Minn and Steve Barnett in Miss. Both are very honest and would do you right.

I am still trying to figure out how to work this forum as far as replies. One Parker is hammered with the markings of 3 for the frame size, 5 for the barrel weight, serial number 108956, Grade D with Damascus steel. It is in good condition. The second one is hammerless, 1 1/2 for the frame size, marked v (in a circle) with an HT and an A under the HT. Serial number 191245, Vulcan Steel barrels.

Does this tell me anything about when they were made and a "maybe" value?

John Puglisi handled a bunch of L.C. Smiths for me on consignment. The crew at Puglisi's Gun Emporium are great to work with.

Default Florida- Kluttz??

If this is for real, and you live in the South- contact PGCA George Newbern through the PMS here- he lives in South Carolina, the Palmetto State, and is a true Southern Gentleman- Many widowed (my condolences M'am) and otherwise single Ladies are taken advantage of by some of the gun hustlers out there- Now- Both Mr. Puglisi and Mr. Barnett both have excellent reputations, but as I know George personally and have dealt with him, and he is a PGCA member, I suggest you also contact him as well as Messers Puglisi and Barnett- remember the old adage from Confuscious- if you want to find out the true value of anything, as of three different people who are not related to each other- We have to be very careful here, M'am, as the PGCA rules and regs strictly prohibit buying, selling or trading of Parkers on the website-Best of luck in your search for a fair deal--

Mrs. Kluttz,

Please excuse our friend Francis' objectionable 'signature'...
He might have been gentleman enough to have deleted it when addressing a lady.
