evaluating FIL's Parker

[Gene Baker]

I'm in NW Illinois in the Dixon/Polo area.

[Harry Collins]

Gene,

Many of us here would love to have a Parker that was passed down through the family. You might consider keeping it just because it belonged to granddaddy or a great uncle. I have four Parkers from family and they are in my will to the next generation. I sure hope they keep them and pass them to their children.

[Gene Baker]

That's a good point, Harry. My only problem with that is that we have no children, and none of our nephews or nieces have any interest that I know of. I think a piece of history like a Parker deserves a home where it is appreciated, and maybe even used for its intended purpose once in awhile. Probably only a lover of Parker doubles would pay nearly the appraised value. I wouldn't want it to be used as an umbrella rack.

You can sell a gun over on doublegunshop.com and pay the moderator ten bucks if it sells. Big audience over there.

[Gene Baker]

Thanks for the information, Bill. I might give that a try after I get a little better educated on this gun.
