Default Found a local Parker

Normally I dont see many sxs shotguns in the local gunshops by local I mean 60 miles. Last year I noticed this Parker soon as I walked at the Basspro in Tallahassee, the recessed hinge pin really makes your eyes focus on it. Looks to be maybe a PH 12 ga ? I think the serial # is 137992 my oldest brother was in there the other day and it was still for sell which honestly I thought these were just display guns. They are right by the front door and have a bunch of other vintage collectibles in the huge probably 7-8ft tall gun cabinet with them. I would love to have a gun cabinet this big since my 8 gauge would probably fit in it. They have alot of neat vintage shotshell boxes on top of the cabinet but its so tall you cant really make out what they are. Some of the boxes appear quite large though which peaked my curiosity.

Thanks for clarifying Im not sure what they are asking they have the tags turned on all the vintage guns where you cant see the price . I may be on the hunt for a PH 12 this year as I have been wanting another hammerless grade 1 to go with my NH. Its always nice to see old doubles locally though since they are uncommon in my area.

This is a nice Browning Double Automatic with a silver receiver and carved stock next to that Parker.

Offer to buy the whole shebang and they may throw in the cabinet.
