The proprietor of Vintage Doubles, Jay Shachter, knows his Parkers and knows their values. A price tag with that kind of number on it indicates to me that he knows there is something 'less than desirable' with it and he had priced it accordingly. A telephone call to Jay might reveal just what it is about the gun that would indicate such a price. Ask some very candid yet pointed questions and Jay may be candid enough to tell you why he priced it that way.
When buying a gun it is almost always best to have it in hand for a full inspection.
