Most of these were imported from Belgium c. 1880-1914 for Sears Roebuck. Its value depends mostly on how well it looks over a yuppie's fireplace - $150-$200 usually.

Parker Hale was created in 1880.

I own a Paragon double barrel and through research on the internet I found out that Paragon was a Trade name used by the J. Stevens Arms Co. and Hopkins and Allen in 1880`s. The nearest I got for a worth value was a single barrel in good or better SHOOTING condition was $100 and the double barrel was at about $175. Hope this helps somewhat and if I run on any updated research results I will post them here.
The price of gasoline in the year of 1880 was about $.95 per barrel. In comparison, in 2007, the price was over $72 per barrel.
The average price of a barrel of crude oil in 1880 was 94 cents.

Ithaca absorbed several older companies and would have acquired their patents, so the 1880 date probably refers to a patent previously held by Syracuse Arms, Lefever Arms, Union Fire Arms, or Wilkes-Barre Gun Company.
There have been many variations on 'RICHARD.' If it is specifically RICHARD, it is almost certainly a Belgian-made hardware store gun made from 1880-1910.
No disrespect intended, but honestly, with no more description than you have given, it could be anywhere from $10 to $50,000 or even more. If manufactured in 1818, it could still be a flintlock and by 1909 it would almost certainly be a breech-loader. A "typical" utility double barrel, either a percussion muzzle-loader circa 1830-1880 or an early breech-loader circa 1865-1915, should bring from $100 to $250 as a mantle decoration. Shotguns by the top makers like Westley Richards or Parker Bros will bring thousands of dollars.
