A 1921 PHE Parker Steel 16ga has been my go-to gun since the early 1970's. If photos are needed showing how one should look, let me know.
A new ejector forend is expensive to make because of all the inletting work involved. A proper P forend has a different checkering pattern than a V or G.
TPS shows that there were 14,230 P grade with Twist and 1,339 with Parker Steel. Although Parker Steel P's are uncommon, I am not sure that there are any historical sales figures that demonstrate an increased value or desireability over the next closest grades except in the unusual piece, like a .410. While there may be a slight added interest or special comment, I doubt that translates to higher value. Gauge, grade and condition dictate and the P is close to the V.
