I can swallow a pad on a larger bore gun but if that pad is not original it would really detract from the value. If it is original, I think it helps the value but I still wouldn't like it. I think I've even seen pads on .410's - if you need a pad on a .410 you don't need to be shooting.

I'm going to just guess on this, but, the value of this particular Parker isn't going to be decided by it's grade, condition, or originality.

It was Burt Spillar's gun. William Tapply owned it most of his life. The gun has a history of use by one of, if not "The" high priests of ruffed grouse hunting, during the golden era of ruffed grouse shooting, in the Mecca of ruffed grouse hunting.

I'm going to guess that we will be stunned by what the gun sells for. I'd guess in the middle of five figures.
Best,
Ted

I agree with Ted. I have no clue what the price will be but I think that condition of this gun will be a moot point.
