I have a nice 28" 1-1/2 Flues 12ga with dam bbls that has the same engraving as the Whitley gun. My uncle got it in a bar one night for $35!!! and gave it to me when I was 16, along with a 16ga Remington Mod 11. The Gunbroker gun is apparently the earlier(corrected) version of the 1-1/2 grade? I could shoot that 3-1/4" DAH on the Whitley gun just fine! Nice looking gun; very nice bbls. I wouldn't hesitate in buying it at all, especially considering how high the prices on Parker small gauge guns are getting these days. I got a nice 28" VH20 with 3-1/4" DAH from J Thynne & co for the price of the Whitley gun not that many years ago, and I shoot it better than all but one of my other Parkers....
