I saw that $3600 one last night and it stood out as oddly too nice. Maybe the case colors threw me, or maybe something doesn't look right with the checkering. I'm learning this the very hard way, it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it and I'm hoping in the future prices moderate a bit and there are some better values. Perhaps the nicest Parker I have ever seen was a 16g DHE that was in original condition with all case colors gone, a small chip in the stock, a bunch of dents and scratches and bluing rubbed off the barrels about 40%. But it had been hunted every season for 3-4 decades and was never rested and it was still tight. Beauty to me is a shooter that is affordable. I wanted the gun- no way he was selling it and he has about 50 of them. God I like these guns a lot.
