Forgive me the info about the Parker was dead wrong. I read from the Omega prices not the Parker column. O percedes P. Some of the Parker pictures were on the page with the Omeaga price table. The Parker your looking at could be anyway from $1300 for a VH grade 12 guage to $103,000 for a A-1 Special grade 28 guage. Unfortunately these listing are all for fluid steel barrels not damacus. Also the prices are all after 1934 when Remmington Arms Company took over Parker. The standard warning still applies about shooting modern ammo," BUT" Research has lead me to a testing report of high grade "D" barrels that actually tested and failed at higher pressures than fluid steel barrels.
Currents Grades for Parkers are VH grade, GH grade DH, CH, BH, AH, AAH, A-1 Special Grade, SC, SB SA,SAA and SA-1 Special. Add 20% for selective trigger and 35% for ventilated rib. Everything above a DH grade is five figures minimum
Sooooooo. I may be right on the price if yours is pre 1934 but if it's post 1934 you could have a hot deal.
