After reading the post about the 20 ga. DHE for sale in MI for $25K, I realized I forgot to post a note regarding the Parker research letter I received about this gun. It is a Remington gun made in 1937 with 28 inch barrels, but no mention of stock dimensions. chokes or butt treatment. It was ordered by and sent to VL & A. I then ordered a VL & A copy of a 1937 catalog which advertised the gun, but with a skeleton butt plate. A listing for a VHE skeet gun does provide for a plain checkered butt, like this gun.
Thus armed with the facts, I sent a written offer of $7500 to SBFG. Several days later, I received a flat rejection with no counter-offer! Well, at least the research was fun!
Thanks to Mr. Bishop for the fast turnaround on the letter.
