A C grade small bore would be higher.

No photos are provided and I do not know what a "checkered butt plate" is as relates to Parkers. About 20% were made with straight grips, which are preferred by some and generally bring a premium.

However, $15,500 is not an irrational asking price for a CHE 12ga, depending upon the condition, barrels and engraving of the gun. However, if you believe it is not correctly priced, wait and look for another, or perhaps ask the seller, who is likely a PGCA member, why he values the gun as he does.

Thank You.. No a dealer has the gun. sorry about spelling trying to type and do other things at the same time..

The PGCA membership includes many dealers who sell guns through shops, internet sales, and gun show tables. The PGCA membership also includes the major gun auction houses.

The serrated buttplate is usually referred to as a skeleton buttplate. What is the frame size and barrel type/composition? That info will help.

Donnie Reels · 11-22-2013, 10:00 AM

yes sorry skeleton bot plate.. The gun is a #2 frame

the gun has fluid steel barrels

It would need to be a fairly minty CHE to warrant $15.5K. It's not a rare gauge, barrel length, or frame size. What does the PGCA letter say about it?

I have not seen a letter on the gun. I will post some pictures this evening.. I thought 415.5K is a lot also. BUT the gun is in the gage I like and has a HIGH stock. thank you guy for your input so far...
