Parker GH on Guns America

[Bruce Day]

Sure, some guns were originally fitted with other than the standard barrels for the grade, but you know that an early G like this would have 2 blade damascus, even if its not in the Serialization Book , as this gun is not. It is a potential factory re-fit, and then you get a letter, and if the letter doesn't say anything about it, then you start looking at the very small details, and without documentation, it will be your opinion.
Its probably a great shooter, and just look at it that way.


I've seen D's with Bernard barrels, Trojans with Twist, a 16ga A Lifter with factory re-fit Whitworths, a V with Twist, a V with damascus, all documented and very interesting.

But you know that for a 86xxx sn gun, this was before V grades and Vulcan fluid steel even existed.

Yes Bruce, I realize that. I told the owner the same thing. I also said it would behoove him to order a Parker letter. Otherwise ,in my humble opinion, that particular shotgun was only worth about $1,200.. to $1,400.00
That reflects the buy-it-now price Gerry Andrews has on a D grade with Vulcan barrels. With condition a little better on the G grade. Thanks Bruce, you only confirm what I believed to be true.. Jim
