That is WAY too high for that gun.

I have no interest in a Smith single at any price. The barrel looks like nothing more than a piece of pipe.

The rib posts are very interesting looking although they look quite weak. They appear as though separation from the barrel could happen easily. I found the gun to be very pleasing aesthetically though I feel it would be more of a safe queen than something that would see much use. The Parker felt a little more robust and aesthetically was beautiful. I would have liked to take both home but not at those prices.

Both are very well used, and there are very few vintage SBTs that have not be messed with in some way.
The Parker has great wood, but the action appears to have been blued.
The 34" barrel on the Smith is a plus but there are no case colors remaining.
The Smith is < $2000 USD gun.
