New Member, Arizona, Inherited a few Parkers

[Mike of the Mountain]

Nice solid D grade Parker. I'd agree with Craig in the $2500 ballpark and that's on the high side.

I’m in the West Valley and know other Parker Collectors here.
After you have determined your Value Range, perhaps a direct sale to other local collectors
would net you more money. Dealers will take around 20% commission to auction. If they buy, expect to receive less than 65% of appraisal value. Good luck. Contact me if want to discuss more. Regards. Gene

Parker Bros. never made barrels of titanium (I know, I know, “when it comes to Parkers never say never.”) but I WILL say it again - Parker barrels were never made of titanium.
I know it was stated in error Dan - the fluid steel barrels on the Grade 3 Parkers were predominantly Titanic Steel.

Dean, I’m going to blame spell check.
