Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

What it's "worth," what is its value, what someone who doesn't own it would pay? Here we go again. The gun was worth one increment higher to you than the next highest bid. 
For what it's worth (not much, I expect), I've tracked three hammer 16 G grades at auction over the past couple of years. One went for $3000, another for $2750, and the third was part of a lot of 3 guns and went for $2500 (not counting the buyer's premium). They were all in decent (at best) condition, but were all original. All were 0 frame guns with lightening cuts in the frame.
Lots of variables to consider, obviously. Just assume you got what you wanted and believe it's a value...and then cherish and shoot it.

Bret: It's value now is as a work of art to be hung on the wall, until a double gun specialist, with the interest, equipment and expertise to do so, has determined that it (esp. the barrels) could be used with shells that reproduce the ballistics of loads for which it was designed. Let the fellas know where you are and there might be someone nearby.
