No, definitely not a 20 gauge. Pointless to post photographs at this point as the asking price is about 3 times of comparable ones I found on auction sites such as Morphy's and their predecessor James Julia's. The ones I found as sold were, if anything, in better condition, and this was when sales prices were stronger.
It amazes me how cheaply one can purchase a SBT C Grade Parker even these days. If one purchases a decent one at auction, I suppose. They required much craftsmanship, so not sure why they sell so cheaply at auction, other than a side by side Parker is just more iconic.
Around here, I'm getting the impression that the attitude is "it's a Parker", and so it MUST be a high dollar gun. Maybe it's something in the water...
