I personally think, with my admittedly limited experience with DHE Parkers, that it is very overpriced. I bought a two gauge set DHE (16 and 20), both gauges with 32" barrels, original chokes, original wood, and original condition except for freshened bluing and stock finishes, in a fine LOM case, 2 years ago for substantially less money. And, from a seller who was not "in the dark" about it's value, either.
I don't know what extra value the market places on 32" small bores above 28" ones at the present, but I think it's considerable. I'd put that gun at not a $ more 6500, right now. Buying or selling.
Steve's business model served him well for many years, and the family continues it. I've got no problem with that. At least they're consistent. But, there's lots of fish in the sea.
