I apologize but the pictures I took with my cell camera are poor at best and really don't show the condition. The gun is in tremendous condition and looks like it's been cased all it's life with little use. The gun is 2.5 hours from me and I can't get there to take pictures. I'm not holding anyone to any numbers, but need an idea of whether this gun is worth pursuing or not. If I could get a spread of $5K on the value that would be sufficient.

Find out the lengths of the barrel sets, and condition of the bores, firstly. If the barrels have been cut, or there is pitting in the bores, that will adversely affect value. Pictures are key. An 1892 GH two-barrel set would be very desirable, if everything was right about the gun.

The barrels are uncut and the bores are smooth.

One is 28 Inches the other is 30" and that's how they were manufactured.

An earlier poster said the serialization book detailed one set of barrels being 28". The only way to confirm is to see the barrels yourself. A Parker letter on the gun from the PGCA would detail such information.
