For several reasons, the unthinkable may need to be done. Three family guns. Are they more valuable as a set or individually? What are the approximate values? NOT FOR SALE NOW, JUST PREPARING FOR THE WORST.
1. Parker #156527, (1911), GHE hammerless, 20 guage. Special steel barrels, full chokes, Parker letter. Pristine.
2. Parker #83376 (1896) GH hammerless, 12 guage, Damascus steel barrels. Parker letter. Excellent.
3. Parker ##110131, V Grade, Vulcan steel, 20 gauge. No letter. Period rubber buttplate added. Excellent.
All Three
If you are a Parker person, please PM your comments, estimates, etc... I am waiting for administrator approval to get on the Parker Gun Collectors web site.
Yes, it a lousy feeling. I'd rather give my arm.

The other 2o will be easier to replace , but you will also realize much less money when you sell. The 12 ga. might fetch $800ish on a good day. Thats my .02 cents, and I have not kept up with Parker auctions. Good luck.
(reply changed after realizing there were 2 20 ga's)
I am no expert on Parkers but have collected, traded and fired
them for over forty years.
In terms of value-the GHE is your most expensive gun.
The Vulcan would be second-despite the added pad.
Parkers are only valuable in high original condition.
One must consider the percentage of case colors on the receiver,
tight lock up, bore condition, chokes, barrel length, blue on
trigger guard, screw slots, original wood finish, etc.
You have some very nice guns and I truly hope you do not need to
sell them.
It is difficult at best to determine a value w/o an auction.
Best and good luck.
