New Member and of course questions on what I have

[Brush Buster]

Hello Joe , It's always nice to have an Old Family Heirloom so in that sense Its a Dandy Old Parker ,otherwise it is as Dean described ! And also as Dean said most of us don't like to put a price on other folks guns ,with that said ,I have had good success selling over the years on Gun Broker if you give an honest description and start your ad at a Penny the gun will usually bring whatever todays Fair Market Value / Price commands and sometimes surprises you ! The reality is it is not as you mentioned a C Grade ,B Grade or an A Grade so it is what it is a nice Old Utility Field Grade gun and the selling price will not make any change to your life style ,for sure ! I have my Grand Dads old Winchester Model 37 which we all know has zero collectability and only a few hundred dollars in value but I enjoy owning it just because it was Paps ! Just something to ponder ! Good luck with it whatever you decide to do , you could also consider making it the first Parker in your collection and adding a couple of those A, B or C's to it !

Thanks Russ! very thoughtful and insightful response and it definitely gives me the direction I was hoping to find.
As I have some health issues I am thinning the herd so to say, and have no one in my family to pass it on to but have decided where it will go. I do not want my wife to have to deal with the mounds of items I have both in the firearms and tools and may as well get things done now.
Again thank you and to others that have shed light on this for me, hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend!
