IMHO buying a “Family” gun is not like buying any other guns. There are factors beyond, “Is the gun worth what I’m paying”. In your case consider the relationship you have with your cousin. Also, you’ve stated you want to keep the gun in the family, so you aren’t going to sell it to make a buck. Will $2000 put a strain on your financial situation? If not, and you are close to your cousin and want his gun to be handed down then buy the gun on one condition. He writes down everything he can remember about buying it and using it. Keep that history with the gun. The worst that can happen is you get a few hundred dollars upside down. But, where else can you buy a Parker that was owned by your cousin?
