Question about 2 1930 Parkers
I recently unearthed 2 guns that belonged to my grandfather and am interested in selling them, but since I don't know anything about guns, I'm finding it difficult to get a good idea of what they're worth. Based upon the research I've been able to do, I think this is the pertinent information:
First one:
S# 235570, Grade DH, 12 gauge, frame size 1 1/2, Titanic Steel, c. 1930 according to this site.
Second one:
S# 235608, Grade V?, 12 gauge, frame size 2, Trojan, c. 1930 according to this site.
Both of these are in great condition, my grandfather was not a hunter and got these as a collector, I guess. There's no rust, nothing is remotely loose, the case colors (I learned some lingo!) look great to a layperson, no scratches, no damage to the barrels, which are full and intact. I would say they're not mint because they're old and need a thorough cleaning, but they're definitely in excellent condition.
Can anyone venture a guess as to their value? I realize selling them to a dealer won't get me the full value that a collector might pay and I'm fine with that for convenience's sake, but nor do I want to give them away, of course. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
