Trying to get more information on my Parker

[Setter Man]

Before someone tries to hood-wink you, unless there are major problems with the gun is worth well north of the numbers you threw out there. Screws on the left of the receiver and floorplate do not appear to have been "buggered"; no case colors but the engraving really pops; appears to be a skeleton BP; does not appear to have excessive drop, wear looks honest...what's not to like. Small frame D-grades with long barrels are highly coveted. Spend the $ and order a research letter if only for curiosity.

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to figure out the best way/place to sell some of these guns I received from my father. They're pretty valuable guns from what I can tell. In addition to the Parker Bros, I have a Winchester Model 12 28 gauge made in 1937 (first year they were made). I also have a Three Barrel Gun Co. older shotgun that seems to be worth a decent amount. As I am not really into collecting guns, I'd rather sell the older ones and keep the newer ones for hunting/skeet shooting. I've checked out gunbroker.com, but almost all of the guns have zero bids with only hours remaining. Do you have any other suggestions that would be easy for someone like me to sell these guns and not get ripped off?

It has real Monetary value, but more importantly to you, it's value is that your dad left it to you.

Oh definitely. He left me quite a few guns, and I am only interested in selling a couple of them. These older/collector types would just sit in the gun case, and as I am not really into gun collecting, I'd rather use the newer ones that I personally like better.

If I were you, that Parker is one I would keep! Won't eat anything in the gun case, and will only grow in value.
