Value of my Parkers

[Opening Day]

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?

Carolyn ... #108956 was built in 1902 and #191245 was built in 1920 but neither of your guns is listed in the Parker Serialization Book and according to this website there are no surviving records with information to base a Parker Letter on for either gun ... As to the value of your guns, condition and rarity are the most important factors ... So, if you can take some pictures and post them on this site, the members of the PGCA will be happy to give you as much information as possible from viewing the photos ... My area of interest is Parker Hammer Guns and I'd be happy to help you in any way I can if you can post some photos of your guns
