George,
A similar late Remington 410 VHE with Cyanide colors and checkered side pannels in what could have been factory or a DelGrego restoration sold for about $8,000 at auction. I know the Dr that purchased it and he told me that he turned it over for $15,000 and the last he saw it was on the internet with $25,000 being asked! Harry |

Thanks Don & Harry: The research letter site indicates that there are surviving records & so I'll order them if I make the deal.
Best Regards, George |

If it's worth $25,000 then George will have it on his website for $50,000 next week. *wink*

I have to say - the sub-gauge Parker market is simply amazing... Most of the .410s out there in unmolested condition go for crazy prices. A quick glance around at some of the asking prices has my eyes pop out a bit
Anyway - when I was programming this new forum - I used a picture of my .410 as a test (image below). The specific are as V grade, straight grip, factory beavertail, single Parker trigger, twin beads, checkered butt, etc. It's pretty well optioned. Since owning it - I'm guessing that the market has nearly doubled, as I could have sold this Parker for nearly twice what I paid for it? I dun'no - it seems like a pretty crazy market for .410s - and no, mine isn't for sale - just an indication of your question as to "value"? Love to see pics of yours if you make the deal!! Best to you, John |

Just a note to those who care or are interested . . . John's .410 actually does have ejectors too. I guess he had forgotten that little tidbit
And John, the market hasn't gone quite that crazy in just two short years - you simply got that .410 at a terrific price. |

Shouldn't you be on your way to Maryland???
I thought I could sneak one by you - and yes - I should have written "VHE" in my description... As for a "terrific price".. It was a HORRENDOUS PRICE according to my much better half (wife ).. But - I like that little .410 and after she shot it - she still thought it was a HORRENDOUS PRICE - but a "cute little gun".. Best to you Dean!! John |

When are you headed down - this evening or tomorrow (just trying to figure out when it's "safe" to post what I was offered for my .410 )?
Seriously - have a GREAT TRIP and be safe! John |
