I have a very, VERY NICE, fine condition, original condition, (never restored at all!), all numbers matching, all proofs still strong, and not 'rubbed away', 1894 manufactured, T-Grade, 20 Guage, side-by-side, 19 1/4" long barrels, Hammer-lock, 'STUB TWIST', PARKER BROTHERS WORKING MAN COACHGUN. It is even in having the PARKER BROTHER'S Co. emblem of a Lab with a Duck in his mouth very distinctly still visible upon its hard-rubber butt-stock pad. The gun is very shootable, as it remains in a fine, original condition. I was looking for a realistic appraisal of its current value for donating to a museum.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Tom

I need the grade of the gun and a sharp picture of the receiver side and bottom. The ser # would help so I can check the Parker Mfr.records

Thanks Dave,
I will get those requested shots to you asap, and I ran the seriel number on the Parker Brother's web-site, and it very was definitely manufactured in 1894, and was within the first quarter of those made for that year of that make and model.
But, I will secure that for you to.
Thanks,
--Tom

Say man, in regards to the 20 guage dbl barrel Parker, what you were stating on a less than revealling image proved to match with what I was told at two most worthy gun dealers here in Dallas, Texas, and so, I sold it, (not to either of them), for $600.00 dollars which seemed to be an excellent sales price.
Right now, I have two (2) OUTSTANDING PREMIUM HENRY, PHILADELPHIA DERRINGERS FOR SALE THAT ARE JUST ABSOLUTE PRISTINE, ORIGINAL GUNS THAT ARE THE FINEST EVER EXAMPLES IN THEIR CLASS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN--AND I AM SERIOUS. THESE BABIES ARE BEAUTIFUL!
I will post photos of them if you like, and am also to sell them for an excellent deal for sure.
Thanks for your help on the shotgun, and all the best!

I think that gun was worth about $2000 and would pay that for it
