Definitely an ejector gun Robert.

Incidentally, I like your French manicure!

The French tips are nice...a pain to keep up though
Again thanks for the info. I'm not real interested in selling the gun but how much might it be worth? A rough guess would be fine.
Along the same line would it be a good idea to get the stock replaced because of the repair job done.
Thanks

Probably, in its present condition, around $3K.

There are a few things you could do to that gun, like restocking it exactly like the original stock but with dimensions that fit you, and having the frame and forend iron re-case colored... but don't expect those modifications to increase the gun's value by the amount you spend to do them.

Another forum thread showing some amazing stocks has motivated me to look into the refurbishing the stock. Again, you guys have been a great help. The information about the possible value of the Parker makes me glad I purchased the bigger gun safe

Jent, your not the one who missed something. The original post with the information about the Parker is in another post titled "greetings". When I posted the pictures I mistakenly uploaded them to a new thread, so the info and the pictures are not in the same thread. It had been a while since I posted on any forums. Hopefully that will clear up any confusion.

The Parker is new to me but has been in my wife's family for at least 80 years. It was important to my mother in law before her passing so I'm just now looking into doing a little restoration and shooting. Before I mess with any restoration I'll be picking you guys brains so I can do it the right way.

Thanks

I wonder if there's anything Mr. Dunkle can't do ??

John never ceases to amaze me with his computer skills. It's like he simply waves his magic wand and **POOF** it's done - just like that!

Thanks John, for all you do!

Robert,

Your best bet is to schlep over to Covina and show your 20-gauge Parker to Jim Thynne and Jerry Kiddo at Ivory Beads.
