The really good news is that both the order book and the stock book copies that should include your gun are in the PGCA research collection and should shed light on your gun's original configuration as well as the person or business that originally ordered your gun. That's a lot of information on an 1879 gun for $40.00. Get that letter request in as soon as possible. Your gun may be a very important gun to Parker collectors and have a bit of value regardless of issues of condition. If you choose to tell us where you are located, we can suggest someone to look at your gun. Please confirm that barrel length measurement for us.
You should send us a good picture of the water table, and don't forget the measurement on the firing pin separation. You asked about value, and no one here has any idea how much someone would pay for a gun this rare.
