Default Thoughts on My Purchase

Greetings All,
I purchased this GH (they erroneously had it labeled as a GHE) gun in an auction yesterday and want to solicit some honest feedback on it. I've included the link to it and that's all I've got until I get it in hand. According to my Parker book, it was made in 1898 and came with 26" barrels. As seen in the pics, it is on a 1 frame. Assuming I'm interpreting the book correctly, 427 grade 2, 12 gauge guns with 26" damascus barrels were made. I would think much fewer than that were 1 frames. The toplever is left of center, but overall, it looks pretty good to me. By the time buyer's premium, sales tax, etc. are added on, I think I will have $1700 - 1750 in it. Knowing no more than that about it, opinions on possible rarity, desirability, price? Thanks in advance.
