Not surprised at the negative comments about CSMC. I am, however, surprised at only a few comments about the gun.
My question to the doubters; Why would anyone fake a relatively low grade gun?
Seriously, have you nothing better to do than play Doubting Thomas?
It must be sad to think someone pisses in your cheerios every day.

That's fine, but it isn't necessary to disparage someone's gun with inuendo.

I'm standing next to Tony, with the gun in my hand and can say that the photos in the GI listing should have been good enough to know the gun is what they say it is. It's flat new, and the value is as much a learning experience. Is a nice GHE worth that? Not hardly, but how often do you get to see one just as it left the factory? Would I buy it? No, because I am not in a position to invest in something I can't enjoy to the fullest, but I have no doubt it will sell.
I am only 30 minutes away, and when I really want to see something of this rarity, I'm lucky enough to not have to rely on the internet alone.

Plus, It's a great reason to go to New Britain and have a couple of the best Hot Dogs in New England.

This is the first time I've seen this thread otherwise I would have spoken before. Since I was lucky enough to have owned a new in box Parker Skeet gun GHE 16 ga which many of you have seen I would agree with Edger and the price is much lower then the price I slold (unfortunatelymy gun for ! I looks like a great gun and where are you going to find another !

The engraving on that gun is spectacular in my opinion. The duck scene on the left side is the best G grade engraving I've ever seen...

I have had generally good dealings with CSMC but I guess others have not. I would not think such a large dealer would fake a gun of this sort. Is it worth the asking price? It is if someone is willing to pay it.
