Based on the photos and assuming the bores are as nice as the outside, I would say that $1,500-$2,000 is a good price where everyone wins.

My gut instinct is that it's a $1250 to $1750 gun, $2000 if one wanted it badly enough. Another poster stated $1600. That seems about right, fair to buyer and seller.
The gun was inherited, might have been purchased new by the current owner's father in 1927.
I wanted to get other opinions and to be able to show the owner what others think as well. I think once I offered him $1800 and he declined. I think he was at 3k on it several years ago and inflation makes him think it is worth 4k, but he is a reasonable man and might take all opinions and reason that a certain value is what current market conditions can bear. I think at the height of the market this very well might have been a 3k gun and had there not have been a downturn in Parker interest and prices, 4k would not have been unreasonable to expect. So $1500 to $1600 seems fair in today's market, at least to me.
