Default 3 Parkers inherited

An uncle left me and my brothers these guns a few years back. None of us know anything about them, and were wondering if we could get some help with value and identification. I have checked everything out through the web site, and it appears as though we have a DH, an AH, and a VH. I have attached a couple of pics of each one, and have more if any body would like to see them.
Thanks in advance...

Kirk,
I think it's safe to say we all wished we had an uncle like yours. Parkers like most collectables have values that are greatly affected by condition, but also grade, options, etc. If you would give a description of each gun, (gage, barrel length, etc.) and some clear photos of each someone may be able to give you a ballpark value.

Kirk,The serialization book lists serial number 215981 as a D grade 12 gauge with 28" barrels,ejectors and straight grip stock.153850 is listed as a an A grade 12 gauge with 30" barrels,ejectors and a pistol grip stock.121301 is not in the book.From the first photos the guns look to in good condition.Could you post more photos? Also getting a factory letter for each gun from this site may prove to be very interesting.

Kirk,
I just noticed the stampings on the water table out near the hinge pin on the A grade. Can you get a pic of those markings?

I zoomed in on what was there and it seems to be readable. I don't know what it is though?

Default Proof Marks

The 2 proof marks are of the Austrian proof house at Ferlach.
