The reason that the numbers match the forend is that they used the original forend parts when re-stocking the gun and adding a Beavertail style.
Like others have said, the price is way too high. The problem is, they will probably only haggle minimal because the shop paid too much for it themselves. They saw Parker, 20 gauge, and O frame and probably knew they had gold. Even a couple hundred bucks off is still too high a price for this gun.
Be patient and keep looking.
