For insurance purposes, insure for at least $100,000.

I believe for insurance purposes I’d add 60k to that number .

According to The Parker Story, there were 79 Quality A1 Specials built. Fifty-five of them were 12-gauges and of those 35 had 30-inch barrels. Which means you have the most common spec A1 Special.

I agree with Craig. Much of the gun has been refinished at some point in time. There are many parts of 217264 that are finished in ways that are certainly not the Meriden norm.
