Grade 2 valuation?

[Wild Skies]

Thank you Charlie.

How about the stock, do you or anyone else have an opinion on whether it is original refinished or a replacement?

[Autumn Daze]

Greg,IMHO that stock is a fairly nicely done replacement. The nose of the comb is not correct for that gun for one thing.

I agree that the butt stock is a replacement but very nicely done, can't tell with the forend but if it has a mullard border, it's probably original. Value wise, I'd put it at $1500, just because of the replacement stock and what looks like a replacement hammer of Parker origin.

Maybe someone ground the hammer so the gun would open with the right hammer cocked. I would have bent it, but the "chunk" works just as well.

Good in theory Bill, but this is a fishtail toplever. This particular gun can be opened and closed with the right hammer cocked without the toplever touching the hammer.
