Yes, it is an extremely nice GHE but unfortunately the "unfired" claim is unfounded. There are circular primer impact marks around the firing pin holes on the standing breech. These impact marks would not be found on an unfired gun... but it sure hasn't been fired much!
BTW, in my opinion it has not been refinished. |

I never understood the claim "unfired" since all guns were and are fired at factory. What is an "unfired" gun?
Dean, how many times does a gun need to be fired before those rings appear? |

I suspect it could happen with just one firing.
I've seen and examined unfired guns and there is absolutely no evidence on the standing breech of any kind of impact marks. I know they were test fired and patterned at the factory and how they came from the factory with no impact marks is a mystery to me. |

I know B.C. Kinsey. http://www.bckinsey.com/
I purchased a beautiful Parker VH 20 from him several years ago when he ran the Kansas City Cabela's Gun Library and in fact just bought a 2 barrel 28 gauge RBL yesterday. I find him to be knowledgeable, honest and a pleasure to deal with.. I would highly recommend him. |

Nice VH Bobby and a splendid RBL too.
My observation on the GHE is not meant to be any kind of comment on the seller but the gun speaks for itself. |

Maybe the rings were polished out and frame recolor touch up?

Just ask.
http://www.bckinsey.com/ I lifted this image off of his website. Maybe I was wrong, he does look kind of shifty. |
