Gentlemen ,I generally stay out of these types of discussions ,but I also sell as a hobbyist on Gun Broker so ,I will voice an opinion for what it's worth ! I have looked over the ad many times and I just don't find fault with this seller ,seems to me ,he said it was an A Grade but goes on to list as being engraved by Angelo Bee ,any one spending $20,000.00 Plus on a Parker would know Angelo wasn't an " In House Engraver " at Parker Brothers ! When I list a gun ,I am very critical of the gun and make the most honest attempt at advertising it as what it is and agree ,a simple description of the Gun being an" Upgrade " in his Post would have rectified any question ,but I don't believe he was being fraudulent ,Just My Honest Opinion ! As for Upgraded Guns , I agree with Rich ," Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder " A while back ,I purchased an Upgraded 410 ,that was advertised as such ,the Gun belonged to Otis Odum ,and was Upgraded by Runge ,Del Grego ,and stamped as such ,it is Upgraded to a BHE and started life as a VHE 410 , I also have a letter from Larry ,that the work was done in their shop ! To be quite honest ,I never thought I would buy an Upgrade either but just fell in love with this gun and realized ,I would never find the only BHE 410 or be able to afford a BHE Factory 410 if I did find one but with some Trading etc. ,I am able to own what I feel is a Gorgeous Gun that I enjoy carrying and also admire the engraving and upgraded wood each time I get it out of the safe ! Again ,Just my Thoughts !
