You have an extremely nice G grade, top action Parker. When the gun is properly cleaned, wood and metal, it will be even better. If the bores are bright and pitt free, I would value the gun at least $1,000.

J.Fife,
It seems you have a very nice, unmolested grade 2 (G) with lots of condition. Are the bores as clean as the exterior of the gun? What are the length of the barrels? I hesitate giving a price without having the gun in hand. |

Wow! Nice gun. Definitely worth more than $600.00.

Yes, very nice gun. Do not ever count on any local gun shop to give you an accurate figure when asking about value. I find it funny how they would not comment on value, but only give credit.

"Now, I am not planing on selling it because it has been in the family for a bit, but I would like to know what something like this is worth and what it would sell for."
although I like buying old guns - I really hope you stick to the first part of that sttement and this piece of family history sees future generations past you. what a great gun to be the caretaker of. the serial number is not in the "book" but 30 inches is a common length, how are the bores - any pitting, and if so how much. I would be careful cleaning it - since it has a good look as is. insure it for a little more than the highest estimate you get here,

The name of the persom it was made for or who owned and shot it, especially if he was a shooter of note, could alter the otherwise 'run of the mill' value considerably. There have been Parkers, Foxes, etc. that have auctioned for at least double what the gun would have sold at without the provenance of a famous shooter or personality. |
