Andrew, looks like a very rare and valuable Parker in many ways. I would like to suggest ordering a letter from the PGCA [look on home page] that may show your Grandfather ordering the gun. Would love to see more pictures and know the dimensions. Enjoy

Outstanding gun! I collect C grades an an all original two barrel set is a rare treasure. I would agree with George as to value. If you decide to sell it....

Thanks, Robert. My next step is asking Charlie Herzog for the work order tag as Mark said it is available (even though the serial number listing does not include this gun for some reason). The initials are not my grandfathers, but I suspect it was his step father's or something. I'm just not sure when my grandfather acquired it either. Might have been a retirement gift to himself!

Andrew, PGCA resourses should be exhausted, but that is not the end of the research trail. Griffin and Howe has an Abercrombie and Fitch research service on their website. I am in the DC area and would be glad to help, but the ballpark estimate you received on this thread is not far off in a good market. If you would like to chat or get information on the Griffin and Howe research services, email me at wilmrph@verizon.net. Bill Murphy

Since no one has mentioned it please take that leather covered cheek pad off the stock, the chemicals in the leather can damage the stock finish. BTW a very beautiful gun...
