What do I have? - Page 9

Dee, do you have any idea if your grandfather bought this gun new? That was a pretty expensive gun for the day. I can't imagine where it sat to get in the condition it is now. I inherited my mothers 20ga Parker that is at about the top of my list of prized possessions. That little 1908 Colt .25 is a nice gun. We have one in our family. They're worth quite a lot actually.

I really don't have much background on this gun. When everything happened, I just packed everything and brought it home. I just recently started going through things, and that is when I found the name on the Parker and looked it up. I'm sorry I don't have many facts for you

I'd be more than happy to post pics of the other guns, but again I didn't want to be posting pictures of unrelated Parker items and upset anyone. I'm new to this kind of thing and didn't want to overstep.

Dee
Please go ahead and post the pictures. There are a lot of guys on this site that have interest and knowledge of guns other than Parkers

The other rifles and shotgun I will have to take pictures of when I get home. Thanks again to everyone here for your expertise, knowledge and overall support. I appreciate each and every one of you!

Hello Dee: The first picture if of a Colt Model 1911 A-1 Government Model made in the 1970's but non-military issue, It looks to be in very nice shape and is valued at $700 - $1,000. The second is what's called a "Baby Browning" caliber .25 auto made by Fabrique Nationale of Liege, Belgium and shoud be valued at $250 - $300.

Best Regards, George

Thank you for the information! The condition is great compared to my Great Grandpa's Parker..lol. My dad was obsessive about keeping his guns immaculate, so I'm thankful for that. I missed chatting with everyone today....the forum has been quiet. Must say you guys gave me purpose and excitement for the last few days.....thanks guys!

Dee: Thank you for the very interesting pictures of your family and the Parker and other guns. I'm not sure but this thread has lasted longer than other ones i believe. It could be a record so we shouldn't stop now. thanks again. Have A Great Day. Thomas L. Benson Sr.
