Somebody else's gun is always worth less than the value that person places upon his own gun.

I consistantly see nice DHE 20s sell for between $10000 and $15000. Detailed photos are important to determining condition.

Those deals are hard because you are effectively negotiating against yourself. I had a similar one and it ended with everyone happy, but I don't want to do it again. What I did is get an opinion on a reasonable offer from a disinterested third party and made that offer.

There looks to be some light rust on the frame and barrels, so I would say $6000. to $8000 would be more in line for a family piece, to keep the family peace.

What if uncle Frank wanted the gun and Uncle Ray was the executor of the will and all assets needed to be sold to cover the mountain of debt that Grandpas hospital and doctor bills had grown out of control and selling the home and cars and everything that is of any value was necessary so that the four children didn't have to pay any out of pocket expenses? I think Uncle frank should pay very bit of fair market value, I would be Ok if I got back $500 less in an inheritance but not if I have to pay $2000 to cover long term care bills.

I forgot to mention that mine has the name "S.D. McGRAW" engraved on the initial oval. The Parker letter had very little information.

In the absence of further information, we have to assume Grandpa didn't leave a mountain of debt. If that were the case, the executor would be obliged to sell the gun on the open market and there would not be much talk of keeping the gun in the family. and if Uncle Frank really wanted it, he could certainly bid on it like everyone else.

Well, we don't know enough about the gun but from what I see I'm not looking at a gun that approaches $10K. I'd need to some more case color for that to happen.

$10,000 gun in my opinion based on only a couple of photos. Many here would kill to have a untouched 20ga DHE straight grip.
