Default What is this Parker? Rrepro or Restored?

This gun is marked as a Parker Special GH 12Ga 30″ Splinter Reproduction. I didn't think they made Repros in that grade? Is it a restored GH?

It is a DelGrego restored and restocked gun.

Thanks. Any idea what the value of that would be?

Value appears to be moot! It appears to be sold.

Another good example of seller "word salad."

I am interested in what a fair price is for that gun.

The link indicates that the gun is “out of stock”. I assume that means it’s sold. The stock appears to have a lot of drop but otherwise nicely refinished, albeit with cyanide colors. It’s worth what someone will pay for it. It’s not a collector. I have paid more for an original condition G grade 12.

The price at which it sold is probably a fair price, but no informed buyer could simply call as say 'I'll take it'. The seller gives no real information regarding the critical dimensions. The stated LOP indicates it had been shortened, looking at the spacers and recoil pad. How Remington (and or Delgrego) could fashion the nose of the comb so far from the excellent treatment the craftsmen from Meriden did, is beyond my comprehension. Ten or so years ago, that gun might have been priced $1000-$1500 higher, and the seller priced it in keeping with the current soft market for 12ga guns.

There is no way that this company has the tens of millions of dollars worth of inventory they list. Nice store, but probably way less selection of guns than what they advertise.

To answer the question of value, I recently sold a similar restored GH for $1800. Restored guns should sell for 50% less than equivalent original guns as a general rule.
