Default Does the price make sense on this GHE

I realise that Tony can be a real high at times on guns but does Guns International 100764494 make sense. I have no interest in this gun, a better question might be what is a real minty Remington era GHE 12 gauge worth with 30" barrels?

Just trying to be a more informed buyer.

Thanks!!

The characteristics discussed in the copy focus on "Condition" That is what determines the price. Of course, a buyer may not agree on the value of the presentation

Very nice Parker, but like you Brian. I am curious as to what others think about the price considering the condition.

I ask because I know where 2 such Remington 12 ga 30" GHE guns exist, one with traditional rib and another with a unusual to me raised solid rib, only one I have seen like it. I traditionally buy Parker's in disrepair and 95% + condition guns are not in my comfort zone. I would appreciate any input on value and feel free to send my a PM with more detail than you care to share on the forum.

Simply put. No the price doesn't make sense to me!! Just my opinion for what it's worth.

I sure hope he gets it but It is way out of what I would pay.

Yes I can see his asking price for a gun in that condition to a collector. As Jack Puglisi use to say to me, find another in this condition..... And he was right, I never lost money on high condition guns. You are looking at it from a shooter's prospective not a collectors prospective, totally different story. That's why I sold my D grade collection of mint guns, I did it and had 8 ga through 410, and then just looked at them on the wall, couldn't shoot them so down the road they went... It's all about what you want.

If the gun with the raised solid rib can be verified as original and is in high condition I would be more inclined to go for it instead of the GI gun - even though it is beautiful.

A raised, solid, flat rib is extremely rare and would be very desirable to collectors. JMHO

noticed the very nice GHE on GI and also wondered where that price came from. To me, Tony & Co. are high on a lot of their guns. We all no that is the asking price and most sellers want what the market will bear. The price is why there are many guns on Gun Broker that been on the site the two years that I have visited it.

There does not appear to be any markings on the rib. Also, there are spots that look like solder on the left side of the rib. The photos are not the greatest, though.
