What is aParker Bros. damascus SxS worth?

jjmitchell60
I found a Parker Bros. SxS 12 ga damascus barreled with the under side release, the mech. that breaks the shotgun open is right in front of the trigger gaurd, and external hammers in excellent condition worth? It has a very premium walnut fore arm and butt stock. A really nice looking and tight old SxS. Any ideas as to a ball park figure?

I also found a Parker & Hearst SxS 12 GA as well. Any ideas as to it's ball park value in good to very good condition?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Niether of these 2 SxS are in the Blue book or the Gun Traders book.

    JJ, Is that one a "Parker and Hearst" or a "Parkhurst"? I have one of the old Parkhust models myself. I don't think they are true collectors items from what I've been able to find out. Seems a lot of companies manufactured copies of the Parkers and tried to capitalize on the name. I'll be "laxcoach" from the board could help if you'd shoot him a message! GHD

    jj,
    The Parker Brother's gun is referred to as a "lifter".
    A serial number usually can pretty much date the shotgun.
    Unlike later top lever Parkers, most lifters did not have the grade
    (a letter) stamped on the water table. Grade/quality was based upon
    the original dollar price and increased with the amount of engraving
    and figure in the stocks. As strong original condition is everything,
    one must factor the amount of vibrant case colors on the locks and frame, percent of blue on the trigger guard, percent of original varnish, sharp checkering, barrel finish, alterations, etc. It would be unreasonable to toss a number out before these questions were answered. If you check www.davidcondon.com there is an excellent photo of a choice lifter listed. Good luck.
