IF the barrels are correct and and in good condition I would think from your pictures that the above stated 5K would be fair... The cost of quality refinish work and the gun itself adds up quickly. You would have a very nice parker ejector 16!....Have the stock properly fixed or replaced with a used one in time and no one could fuss about your Parker! They will only envy you. I sold a nice original DHE-16 at 9K only because it had a SST instead of DT. If your buying to use, shoot and hunt its perfect! If buying for a original collectible or show piece its not a good choice period. SXS ohio....

After looking at the safety button again, and blown up, I withdraw my original comment that it may have been hot blued. Clearly now, it's not. Maybe cold rust blued. I have a gun which has had no handling, and it has the slight bluish tint of niter bluing, much like early Colt niter bluing (which no one seems to have mastered) I'm much more accustomed to guns which have seen use, and many of mine are the grey-silver, with traces of original bluing.

How long are the barrels? That makes a difference.

The Miller trigger does nothing to detract from the value of this. we still don't know what the asking price is.

It dose to someone who only shoots/collects double trigger guns.

It's the best SST trigger out there but......one would have to be proficient in the nuances of the SST to really appreciate the beauty and functionalty of the Miller. This is lost on those of us who blindly follow the two trigger dogma.

a nice redone gun like this should sell for less than $3000...any more than that and you might consider a repro as a better investment.

IMHO that gun would be a steal at 3K.

Would you ask for less than $3,000 if it were yours? I doubt it.

SXS OHIO · 09-15-2013, 06:35 AM

I would give 3K anytime for a gun like that one!...its worth more! The only good reason for inventing a SST would be for those with FAT fingers or if you have to wear big heavy gloves to keep from frost bite...oops Did I say that...EEEEEK It wont erase...............)-:
