Default DH Three Barrel Set Value

I posted pictures of this Parker about six years ago. I took the pictures with a camera I had owned for ten minutes and I had not figured out how to focus. It is a #2 frame with three sets of Damascus barrels and as I remember they were in good shape with the exception of a large dent in the short barrels. There is no case colors though there is some pattern on the barrels. I am not trying to buy the gun nor is it for sale. The owner was querious of the value. I would guess $2,500 to $3,500. What do you think?

Man ,How rare is an original three barrel set ! Wouldn't you have to figure ,if all is okay ,between $2000.00 ,and $ 2500.00, for a decent ,D grade and at least a grand or better for a barrel set and the original forend ,not to mention the uniqueness of the Three barrel set ,if it could be documented !I would guess better than $5000.00 ? Just my opinion ,for what it's worth ! Russ

No Harry... more than that even.

Does it letter as having left Meriden with three sets of barrels? The handwriting on the "310 / 310" tag appears to have been written by a different hand.

It looks to be in pretty nice shape Harry so I would estimate another 1 or 2 thousand higher than your $5K

I wonder how many three barrel sets were made?...

I know of only one DH four barrel set in 16 ga. if I remember correctly.... Dave?

My uneducated guess is that an original four barrel DH set would bring in excess of $10,000 in the right auction.

We have discussed a GHE Damascus 0 frame 16 gauge three barrel set here before. It was described as 24", 28", and 30", all numbered, all original length with choke and proper rib ends, and all with forends. The discussion did not include pricing.

A set of damascuss 20ga 0 frame bbls and a forarm brought around $1800 on Gunbroker a couple of years ago.

Subtract for the 12ga but add the fact that these are numbered to the gun and I bet the added sets of barrels are worth better than $1500 ea.

I did an article on the DH 16 gauge four barrel set in the Winter 2009 Parker Pages. The gun went back to the factory for the extra barrel sets and was not ordered as a four barrel set. The original owner had the luxury of being about 15 miles from the Parker Bros. factory. The current owner believes the gun to be worth north of $10,000.

As you know,lots of difference between a 16ga an 12 ga set. If it was a single barrel gun with not CC I would say 3K, then add 3K for the barrels and another 1K for rarity and get to around 7-8K???
