[quote=EDM if he walked it around at Sanford NC or the Vintage Cup, a Parker person might go $450...given that the gun was fully functional with good clean barrels, good (but not perfect) screws, traces of colors, stock tight to action, not off face, etc.... Point being that plenty of nice-enough old Parker PHs abound, and no one should chase after a project/parts gun unless he is in the business.
Parting shot: The motivation of helping a gun-nut friend sell a gun by buying it one's self should be tested by the premise that you die soon and your wife has to figure out what to do with a project/parts Parker in the condition stated. Good guns may cost more at point of purchase but there will be a ready market when it's time to sell. EDM [/quote]
Truer words have ne'er been spoken.
