Looks like a nice shooter #3 frame NH 10ga except for the trigger plate screws to me. Any opinions on the market value of such a gun? $1000.????

This one will likely have a hard time selling with a reserve on it. It is likely too high, as most reserves are. I personally don't even bother paying much attention to reserve listings. It's a good way for a seller to loose potential
Buyers.

The subject gun of this post reminds me of Austin's article in DGJ "Collecting and Especially Shooting Popular Parkers". The grade 1 guns are a great value and fun to shoot.

The floor plate is a mess. Needs professional attention plus screws and refinishing. Too much for me. Nice heavy barrels, though.

looking at the floor plate in pic 8- i wonder if it is not in place because the screws have been reversed-

but I also noticed a bit of a gap in the wood to bottom tang fit, making me wonder if the stock has started to split- last one i bought like that was toast inside (as i expected)

might be a project gun

I was not suggesting the gun in this post is a good value, I was just stating my opinion that Grade 1 guns in general are a good value in the world of vintage American sxs shotguns. I agree with Bill the subject gun has two many issues for me to consider giving it a home.

Sort of like Brian says, I bet the reserve is something unreasonable.
