20 gauge damascus Parker

Ken, The picture with the damascus barrels and shell next to the side do the lines on the rib go all the way to the end ? It looks to on the left side as I look at it

Thanks Bruce,
As I say I do not plan to sell the gun. I added pictures of the skeleton buttplate and the sides of the stock. I guess I lucked into this one. Does anyone know how many were made in this configuration?

Ken, What a great gun! Congratulation's.. I would say $6000.00-$7000.00 but that's just my 2 cent's worth.

Sometimes it pays to be the early bird at a gunshow. If it wasn't for all the great information provided by the Parker Gun membership and forum members I might have just walked past this gun.

By the way both barrel bores are bright and shiney.

Thank you all!

I think both Bruce and Dave are in the ballpark $5000 to $7000, the gun does need some work so it would not bring more I am thinking somewhere inbetween those numbers. But hell what do I know....

I have not yet seen a post that says that Ken can't get a 16 gauge shell in the breech of the original gun. The book says it is a 16 gauge gun, I think it is a 16 gauge gun, and posters are appraising it as a 20 gauge gun. Ken, a 20 gauge DH grade Damascus barrel gun in worth about half again as much as a 16 gauge Damascus barrel gun. What gauge is your original Damascus barrel gun? It is one wonderful gun and we want to give you a correct appraisal.

OK, Ken's 3:15 PM post on 8-30 says that he can't get a 16 gauge shell in the Damascus barrels and there is no sign of sleeving. I guess the original gun is a 20 gauge. Now Ken needs to get the gun in the hands of a Parker expert with a set of bore gauges. It would be worth it to Ken since a D Grade 20 gauge Damascus gun is a very coveted gun in Parker shotgun collecting circles.
