You live in a state with a lot of members, and close to NY State with a lot of members. If it were ME, I'd join, sell it here, and drive it if it's close to the owner or have the owner pick it up. I have had TWO guns damaged in shipping, both of them coming to me, both of them by reputable sellers, so shipping to me is always the Russian Roulette of selling on line.

Robert, I wouldn't charge you anything for my opinion and that's all it would be, just my opinion on your gun. I can measure your barrels bores and chokes but not wall thickness. If I can help answer your questions I can do that too.

Now I understand how Gunbroker and the others work, Thank you everyone. Great advice for other options as well. I took more pictures today and found what appears to be rust that could only be seen when rotating the barrels in the sunlight. Never noticed it with the indoor lighting. Also, I have contacted Pa SxS.

I don't and won't argue value or desirability, but I have a GH with damascus barrels and I think they're a thing of beauty. That's a nice example.

I met with Pa SxS (Mr. Chuck Bishop). It was very gracious of him to offer his time and expertise. He was meticulous with his inspection and gave me a lot of information. I was very pleased with his opinion on the condition of my Parker. Anyone having the opportunity to conversate with him over Parkers should do so. This forum is very lucky to have him as a member. He also shared his great collection of shotguns. Thank you again sir!

It was nice meeting Robert and his wife. The first set of pictures he posted don't do the gun justice. Look at the last 2 sets of pictures to get a good idea of condition. The case colors on the action I would say are 90%. There is no case colors on the forend release but that's not unusual. The stock and checkering are excellent and it looks like no screw has been turned. The lockup is tight. There are a few small spots of pitting on 1 of the external barrels but not obvious until felt. Bores are great. The only thing that could be nicer is if the Damascus pattern was bolder but it's not bad by any means. Overall, I would say the gun is at 80% the way it left the factory. A nice high condition GH 12ga.
