How to pursue an appraisal?

[Big Friend Ten (BFT)]

KC,

To sell a gun on this forum one must be a member of the Parker Gun Collector's Association (PGCA). The annual membership fee is $40.

An appraisal of your gun would require detailed photos. Since you intend to sell the gun you will need to join the PGCA. The members would do this for free as they often do. Our members know Parkers and their market value.

Your gun is:

Grade 0
Plain Twist 32" Barrels
10 gauge
Straight Grip
Top Action (External Hammers)

This was the lowest grade Parker and today are common. If it is in near new condition it may bring $2000 to $3000. Most Grade 0 Parkers were hard hunted and worn. The value may be $100 to $3000 with most examples we see being worth $500 to $1500. The difference between a $1500 and $3000 Grade 0 10 gauge may not be noticeable to the untrained eye.

Please consider joining the PGCA. The free assessment is worth far more than the membership fee.
