Question on Factory 28 gauge barrels - Page 2

Dwight, what is the grade of the gun?

If it originally had Damascus Steel barrels it was probably a Grade 2 or higher.

sorry...PH & it appears untouched.

That depends on the condition-case color, blue, stock originality and condition.
An all original OO , 30" 40% CC, good blue and stock finish is about 12-14K?
Good Luck-they do not come available that often!

the case color , %, vivid?, location makes a HUGE difference in value. I saw a beautiful VHE 28g 30" , SS ,with 90% vivid CC go for $24,000 and was probable worth more

David, I disagree with that assessment for a 28 ga. in the condition you discuss.

I would tag it between $16k - $19k with ejectors.

$14 - $16 with extractors.

A PH would normally have had Twist Steel barrels rather than Damascus Steel. Have you seen the letter?

With it being rebarreled I don't think it would have anywhere near the value of a true 28. For my hard earned dollars I would pay more for an original VH/VHE 28 than a rebarreled PH on a heavier frame even if Parker did it.

Dean , your right, I checked the letter. it came with 28" twist barrels.

I agree with David and Doc Truitt. An O frame 28 gauge is a wonderful gun.
