They aren't guaranteeing originality, they are offering you an inspection period to return the gun if you are not pleased with it. Anyone's opinion on originality is just that, an opinion. The gun in question has been back to the factory for work. So it is not in its original condition when it left the factory the 1st time. Does this "void" its originality? I am not arguing, my point is if someone tells me they "guarantee this gun to be original" I just smile and form my own opinion.

The problem here though is that your not getting an inspection period to form your opinion and without seeing the gun in person you are taking a big chance if the gun goes for big money. I haven't heard anybody say that the case is original with the internet pictures that are given and probably shouldn't unless they have seen this gun in person.

I would not disagree with you on that. There would probably be some who say it looks like Parker Remington case and some who would say it wasn't. The same seller had a 20 gauge GHE that I thought was completely restored, yet others on here said that it looked completely correct.

I wish I had the serial number for the GHE 20 skeet I had, Hell I wish I still had the gun. It is what it is and if the buyer and seller are happy at the end of the day thats what counts. There was a time when I'd have been all over this one.
