My favorite Parker is a 1920 Trojan in 16 gauge with 26" barrels, moderately choked. It's as close to the perfect grouse and woodcock gun as I'm ever likely to get. With all that said, I'd agree that $850 sounds a bit steep for such a gun, but I'm basing that on broad personal perceptions of the current market and no photos of the particular gun. I'm mostly convinced here in late-middle age, that my dad was right when he would say, "the sixteen gauge is just about as close to perfect as you're gonna get."
