You should get some good advice on collecting Parkers before you continue. The hammer gun shows serious defects in fit of wood to metal, which indicates amateur disassembly and "fooling around" which brings value down to zero in short order. Poor fit of metal to metal is another indication of bad gunsmithing that brings value to zero quickly. The hammerless gun shows very bad gunsmithing and refinish and such work has brought that gun to zero collector value. Zero collector value translates into zero shooter value because shooters don't buy Parkers just to shoot, they want to be proud of them when they show them off. More and more people these days know about good Parkers and bad guns are recognized by more shooters and casual collectors every day. Be careful.
