Need help with an appraisal

[Harry Collins]

Josef,

We have a book that list many of the Parkers that were made. Unfortunately the serial number for your grandfathers Parker is not listed. If it had been listed I could have told you how it came from the factory, i.e. barrel length, gauge, type of steel used for the barrels. It is an interesting alteration for a left handed shooter. Again it has too many warts for a collector. They include buggered screws, blued barrels and receiver, replacement stock, and probably things we can not see. I would value the gun at $500 tops.

Kindest,
Harry

Thank for the info guys. That’s kind of what I was figuring since I could find nothing else out there that had the same look.
