I was so off on the GHE 20 that sold I am afraid to comment on the originality of this one! I will say the choke markings are correct for a Remington skeet gun. So how many GHE 28 gauge skeet guns are out there?

The top lever is left of center which I find a little concerning on a gun this clean. The trigger plate screws finish doesn't match the rest of the metal finish & then there's the Bradley type front sight that is more model-21'ish than Parker like. I sure would like to see a PGCA letter on this one!

Overall it's a really nice gun that will attract a lot of flies to this pot of honey!! Good luck guy's it's out of my league! I wonder where the over-under bets would be placed? Will it go over or under the 20K mark?

Well over $20K IMO.

I suspect that there are more "Skeet In and Skeet Out" marked Parkers that did not come from the factory that way than did come from the factory that way. Of course, this is probably one of the real ones. It is just a few numbers away from a known skeet gun. The high bidder has probably already put in a real high bid. Of course, we should continue to nip at his heels.

And those "fake" ones, generally speaking, are fairly easy to spot because the skeet markings just don't look like original factory skeet markings. I think this one is genuine.

Do you have a research letter on yours Robert?
My 28 fauge VHE is not marked with Skwwt choke markings but my research letters, both from Chuck Bishop and from Bob Beach confirm it is a “Skeet gun.” Yours may too. Mine is 236912 .

Dean, what information did Chuck and Bob provide that gave you information that your gun is a skeet gun?

In Picture #65 of the listing it appears that the right ejector trip rod in receiver is broken off.
Am I correct? If so, is this a difficult repair?

Not broken off, just one barrel is fired (see the tripped firing pin at the breech).
The other barrel is cocked.
