Bill Murphy and I had a Parker 28 ga. display at the Old Baltimore Show in March of 2001 wherein we displayed the very best Remington era Runge-engraved BHE 28 ga I've ever seen; all options including VR. A colloquium of 5 experienced Parker collectors estimated its fair market value at $32,500 retail and $28,500 wholesale on the given market at that time. The gun sold for $126,00 at Guyette & Deeter's February 2023 auction. I still think about that gun!
