Don't leave home without your checkbook. Parkers are where you find them.

Ralph,I see you live in Vienna Virginia,you may find a Parker at the Nation's Gun Show.The next show Feb.12,13 & 14 at the Dulles Expo Center,look for John Allgood on aisle 8 John always has Parker's for sale. J.J.

[Ralph Meoni]

Thanks all. Really appreciate your advice.

This thread reminded me of Donald Rumsfeld (ex Secretary of Defense, etc) in a way. I remember him talking about "knowing what you know" and "knowing what you don't know"--the one to worry about is "not knowing what you don't know"
You can read a couple of books, a few articles and maybe even go to a few gun shows--at the end there is still a lot that is not known That is when buying anything for investment gets risky. Maybe get some assistance from someone that can help?

Ralph,
Buying classic side by sides without a strong knowledge base upon which to rely to judge condition, originality and real value is a sure fire way to make big mistakes and lose a lot of money.
Read a lot about Parkers and look at many before even buying one. Get help from those who are knowledgeable and willing to help. You will find that assistance here on this site and everywhere the PGCA is found.
Good luck and good hunting!!

Here is my best Parker, a nice G grade, that I hope has good upside investment potential. Maybe the experts can tell me how much this will be worth in twenty years when it becomes available to some lucky buyer.

Its not every day you find a gun like this. Do you think it will lose value if I take it hunting?

BD, if you tell us where you live, we could possibly recommend a good gunsmith in your area

[Bill Murphy]

Mr. BD, I have a baggo Parkers like you pictured. I like them just fine, but don't plan on making a large profit on them. Thanks for the pictures.

[Bruce Day]

I already have a Good master gunsmith and next I will be looking for an auction service.

And I'm not telling anybody where I live because Obama's minions will come track me down and take my prize.
