The gun sold at G&H, although it has a very desirable and rare configuration, was a used gun with plenty of wear to the case color and barrel blue. I thought the $3600 sell price was about $1000 lower than its actual value, given its configuration. Several years ago I paid something close to $5k for the same gun / same amount of wear / exact same configuration, that I bought for Kathy. (That one will go to Kathy's granddaughters.)
Mint/New repros have their own market though and their value is anybody's guess and at auction all that is needed is two very serious bidders. .

Thanks for the replies! I was thinking close to around $5500 for this new of a gun with great wood-Looks like Im not that far off the value but the 9-28 gauges listed on Guns International except one are all listed way higher than this gun (a few were two barrel sets) with most not having the wood figure of this gun. Although they are priced higher it doesn't look like they are selling either.

I wish there was a database of "sold for" values. I have found this valuable when shopping for Porsche's. Excellence magazine list sales examples and these are often in contradiction (higher or lower) than a "Blue Book" value. The only way I know is to look at SOLD on GB unless someone cares to enlighten me. FYI, I bought a 28 PR in case in very good condition for $4000 a year and a half ago. I have a single trigger issue which needs to be worked out, so add a few hundred for that repair to the total cost.

Buy a couple dozen of them and resell them. When you are done you will know what they bring. It may sound snarky but that is what I had to do.
I laugh when I see guns that sell for an outrageous price like the famous GB auction for a model 94 .30-30. Then people think that is the new price and conversely when someone makes a great buy on a individual gun they think that any similar guns should never bring more. Neither of these scenarios reflect what a gun is really worth and in the case of the Parker Repro the specs are huge when it comes to what the gun will bring so there is quite a spread in the value of guns of the same model and gauge. |

And the Parker Reproductions are still the best deal on the used double gun market IMO.

The gun that just sold at Griffin and Howe ,I had called the seller and left a message also an e-mail that I would take it ,no Dickering or dealing required ! The Specs on that gun at least to me were very desirable ! I like the Dbl Triggers and the Beaver Tail Forend also like the idea 2/3rd's of the colors were wore off of it ! Sorry I missed it especially at the price ! I would have put that particular gun at the 5 Thousand to $5500.00 Range from recent sales ! For what it's worth , Just my Opinion !!!!

Double triggers bring a premium on Repros. I guess it isn't a matter of rarity but scarcity. People who have them hang on to them.
