To determine the exact value of a Parker Brothers 12 gauge double barrel shotgun manufactured in 1878, there are a few factors that would need to be taken into consideration. Most important of these factors being, the condition of the shotgun.
If this is the Colt 1878 Frontier model serial # 5100 , then it was produced around 1881.
value depends on the pistol model, overall condition and serial number. If a good early model single action, value could be $1500 - 2500..............................................
There are several factors which will affect the value, such as the exact model and particular features, and it is strongly advised to find a trusted appraiser to properly identify the piece. In Very Good condition, the Model 3 Russion 2nd model in .44 S&W Russian caliber is valued at $3250. A Model 3 Russian 3rd model is valued at $9000. The 2nd model was manufactured between 1873 and 1878. The 3rd model between 1874 and 1878.

According to this proofhouse website http://proofhouse.com/colt/index.html the model 1878 was only made up to 1905 with the final serial number being 51210. I don't know how much your gun is worth but with a serial number 117187 it is not a model 1878
