I have been reading all the information on this site and in the collector section one of the suggestions to find out an idea of price is to post shots of the gun and let the members chime in. (From this site it says: I would encourage you to use this site as a first step in determining the "value" of your gun. There are many of us here that can help you. The "dollars and sense" will come later very naturally).
From your earlier help this is what I know about the gun.
1926 Parker shotgun,
12 gauge,
A1S,
Peerless barrels,
#No. 8 grade,
single trigger,
30-inch barrel,
#2
217264
I have had this for years and knew it was worth money but it is very confusing to figure out how much it might be worth

Review the big auction sites for A-1 Specials and see prices they’ve brought . But read the full description . As I’m sure you’re well aware there are many factors that’ll dictate the worth or projected worth of something . Condition , gauge and rarity of configuration to name a few . Check Rock Island , Morphy’s , Poulin’s and Guyette an Deeter . All past auctions for final price buyers premium included as that’s what someone was willing to pay at the time of the sale .

To me it appears as if the blueing and wood have been restored which will affect the value. The last G&D auction had a 12ga A-1 with 34" barrels that didn't make it's reserve. The estimate was 90-140K.
Great gun thanks for the pictures, we can only dream of owning such a fine Parker.

I have been in the possession of the gun since the 1970's. My father had it since the early 50's. I assure you this gun has not been refinished. It has sat in a case and cleaned occasionally for the last 70 years. Harry Nye Jr. who inherited the gun in 1933 when his father died, didn't shoot. So as far as I can tell the gun has not been shot (maybe once by my father) for over 90 years.

This gun has always been given away. It has never been for sale. Two from the Nye family and two from the Stearns family. Harry Nye gave it to Dick Stearns in the early 50's for a suit of Star boat sails and they were friends.
