I'm very fortunate you didn't bid. Yes, that wood is unbelievable. My top bid was $1125.50 and I got it for the opening price of $887.50 plus the TAX GB charges now. 20 minutes after the auction closed I got a call from a local shop saying the HK tactical USP I had on consignment had sold for my asking price. So after paying for the Parker I still came out $50.00 ahead. I love being lucky. Additionally it's a big plus to have the shotgun delivered to my front door.

Congratulations on your purchase of a fine looking gun. Actually wood of that grade during that era on those guns is not uncommon at all. Another thing, when those chokes are measured with drop-in gauges on the hammer guns they may actually end up measuring a little tighter. Not always, but I would almost bet it will be tighter than what the drop in shows. Congrats
