I would think a cowboy action shooter might be interested in a gun like this but I am not sure many if those guys shoot Damascus barrels. Its greater value may be in its parts.
Cut barrels from 30 to 28 would hurt the value but it would still have some appeal with reasonable length barrels but in my opinion, cutting it from 30 to 19 destroys the value. What a shame, at one time it was a very desirable Parker! |

Diane, there are readers of this thread searching for a set of barrels for that gun as we speak. By the way, I just reread the thread and see that no one has corrected the "D quality" post. The D in the Serialization Book refers to Damascus barrels, not the grade of the gun. When our researcher examines the stock book entry, he may see a notation that will expand our knowledge of this gun.

The forend wood is original - no question in my mind about that - however, and again, how unfortunate, the buttstock appears to be a replacement (in my opinion) and further detracts from the gun's value. What a magnificent Parker it once was.

Dianne: You should still send for a research letter. If there is no information Mark will return your check. If there is it could possibly show who the gun was originally shipped to. It could, possibly, have been one of the early stagecoach or banking companies which would explain the cutoff barrels. "If Only These Old Guns Could Talk, What A Story They Could Tell"

George, being such a high-grade Parker I'd be very surprised if this was ordered by a bank or overland express companies such as W.F.& Co. as a coach gun.
