Thanks for the info, the serial number of that gun puts it as post 1934 according to our site 2395xx

Looking closer at the picture I have, I think it may have been the letter D

$17,030.00 ?.... c'mon guys - it's nicer than that!!

With 5 days to go, I’d say the final price is far away

Yep and it will get really interesting the last hour or so.:corn:

I hope we get to admire it in person some day.

The dealer finally responded to my email. He must have read my previous post. He said that the case is 85% but that several people have contacted him and said the case wasn't original. He did turn the grip cap around and it fit perfectly. He also said the barrel blue was 95% but never mentioned if was reblued or not. Also said that he was no Parker expert and basically it sounded like he's not going to guarantee that the gun is original.

With no stipulated return policy in the auction it would be a cold day in hell before you see me bid that amount .

Does anyone guarantee that a gun is original??

Thet 28 GHE Skeet is original enough for me. Nobody ever made any changes to it that would alter it from its original configuration. We’ve seen upgrades from VH’s and VHE’s but this is definitely not one of those. This is a very desirable “real deal” that may or may not have been “freshened” according to the opinions of some. And I think we can safely say “the jury’s still out.”
