Parker 30" 20 bores are all special guns. The one in question appears to have had some restoration work done. Case colors are not original and the wood looks to have had some work as well. But it would be a fine shooter assuming the barrels are good.

My money says it's all been re-done and that the case colors are certainly not original. I just read the excellent article on case colors in the archived spring or summer issue of PP 2015 that shows photos of re-done coloring. I'm guessing by the pattern and floor plate in particular it's a recolor. For the money would make a nice field gun.

Cyanide case colors are not original. The quality of the walnut is correct for a VHE but it looks to have been restocked and the forend has at least been re-checkered.
This gun has no safety so it's pretty likely the interest in it will be limited but the barrel length may make up for that. .

The gun has been refinished. Cyanide case colors, reblack on the barrels and stock refinished with checkering recut. But a nice looking gun and would be a great shooter.

It does say in the listing that the gun has been "redone"..... Reblued, refinished wood, although nothing about the case colors. Also, what is that cicrle in the rib in front of the receiver?
But, ya 30" 20's are sweet.

For my own educational purposes, how is everyone arriving at the conclusion the checkering is recut?

That's the retaining screw for the doll's head extension. They were invisible when new but they become visible when refinished.

It is not "true" to original Parker checkering quality or pattern layout. .
