I think the gun is very hot. If I didn't own a Repro of that exact configuration except for the extra splinter forend, I would have bought it in a minute. Did Roger give you any paperwork documenting the originality of the extra forend? Greg, sorry I didn't see your question before the gun sold.

I handled this gun when it visited our area a few months ago... couldn't come up with the dough at the moment and let it go back to PA. It is nicer than the photos can show and yes, the beavertail forend & double triggers set it apart. Enjoy it often Mr. Dawley.

I did not get any paperwork, but it is my understanding that the gun was bought, along with other, back when they quit making them as an investment and the owner has apparently chosen to collect his interest. It is reported to have never been fired and appears so. As it was on consignment, bargining was out, though I did get free shipping. I was also dealing with William Larkin Moore and CSMC on two barrel sets which didnt have the double triggers and extra forend. Dave Moore, who I have had the pleasure of buying several Arrietas from recently, agreed that it was a good deal when I chose not to buy the one they had; citing the double triggers, different barrel lenghs and two grips as being worth several hundred more then the gun sold for. William Larkin Moore, by the way, is an excellent orginization to deal with as well

I wouldn't automatically assume that when a gun is consigned, there is no 'dickering'. A motivated dealer would rather take a slightly lower margin, than have something just sit there. He is often able to go to the seller and talk him into taking less. The combined concessions can often be more than what an owner would take by himself.
In today's economy, there are very few things that are 'Firm'.

Default Parker Repro

Believe me, I never buy anything at what it is priced...tried....he was quite ademaent that the owner would not drop on the price, having no real urgance to sell. Given its make up, I have no doubt he could have gotten full price . In fact another dealer who I was talking with about a parker he had for sale said if they had this one in their store (William Larkin Moore) they would have been asking 7500

Charles, it appears that this gun has an oil finish, does it?

Default Parker repos with 2 forearms.

I ordered 2 repro 2 barrel sets with 2 beavertail forends when they were first introduced. One both 20 and 28 gauge. Over the years I have seen very few sets with 2 forends.

The dealer reports the gun came from the factory as is. I too have not seen others with two forends. Sure is an ideal option if you are going to have two barrels. The other thing is different length barrels. More often the are the same
