20ga DHE Damascus 1891

[Bill Murphy]

This is a perfect example of an untouched Parker that could lose at least $2000 of its value in a restoration effort. What a great little 20.

Bill, your comment indicates that you believe the gun us worth more that $2000. Is that what you were trying to imply? Looking at a 1994 edition of the Blue Book I see that a 16ga at 80% of original case colors is valued at $2675. Can I infer that you believe the gun to be graded at 80%? Can anyone provide me with 2012-13 Blue Book values?

Question why would you look at a 1994 edition Blue Book it has no baring on price today. As Bill says the gun needs to be in hand so see the condition of the bores.
