My 1901 16 gauge Parker

[Bruce Day]

Steve Barnett over in Mississippi is a reputable dealer with a lot of fine Parkers. Terry Allen in Nashville is fine also. McCabe and Willoughby in Dallas, also. The PGCA will hold its next annual meeting and exhibition in Louisville KY in Sept 2011.

As for value, severely cut barrels have little value to Parker collectors. The stocks look beat up. The action frames, when they are hanging up, could be internally rusted or just full of dried grease and crud. If parted out, I don't know, maybe a bit more than $500 from both. Bill Murphy has dealt in parting out guns. Bill?

Steve Barnett in Mississippi is fairly close. Maybe I can track him down. He may want them for parts or be able to give me a face-to-face evaluation. Maybe I could work something out in trade and $ and get a good Parker, who knows?

Thanks for the ballpark value in parts, Bruce. That's not as bad as I imagined. The 16's action works fine, though the 12 has problems. I don't think these guns have been cleaned in a 100 years.

Thanks for the info, Bruce.
