Curious as to the value of a gun? It�s a Parker bros 12 gauge I have attached some pictures below. The only thing i have found wrong is the butt plate. If you need more pictures please let me know. I love the gun but not sure on value.

Couple hundred bucks, likely

The gun is so badly off-face I doubt it could ever be put right. How bad are the bores. Some folks are fans of the Laminated Steel barrels.

That�s Cracker Barrel wall hanger... Or parts gun.

It's a clunker, a poor wallhanger. Worth more to you than anyone else. Sorry to be so blunt, but it is what it is.

I'm not sure clunker is the right word. After all it is a Parker, just a low grade one in poor shape. It'd be an improvement over the gun over the fireplace in our local Cracker barrel...Geo

If a family heirloom the gun is of course invaluable. If not, the barrels and forend, and locks, might have some value.

"Off-face" means the large gap between the barrels and the breech. Repair will cost more than the value of the gun.



The head of the stock is cracked and wood pieces are missing, and I believe the L hammer has been replaced.

Please squirt a bit of epoxy in the firing pin holes and hang the gun in a place of honor in your home.

Thanks for the replies. I didn�t think it was worth much but being a Parker thought maybe someone might value some of it for parts. Couple of these were given to me. Wanted to do research and get feedback from experts or those that are more knowledgeable in that area. Thanks again.
