Those are asking prices, not 'sold for' prices.

Nobody in their right mind would spend $2k on even the limited edition of TPS.
Keep looking. I think $650-$850 for the limited edition would be what they should sell for.

Check out EBay as well for The Parker Story. There is a set for $475 at the moment.

Would any of you guys be able to help me out on a 28gauge VH? I noticed it in a gun shop while home visiting for the holidays and snapped a couple pictures. Its been refinished case hardened and blued and looks the have a new wood on the but stock, definitely not a collector piece but definitely a nice gun from 1903 to hunt with. What would be a good way to get a base line value so I can maybe make an offer they have a pretty what I think highly price on it right no.

If I can figure out how to put some pictures on I will

We need lots of hi def pictures at the very least.

If it was refinished well, and the chokes aren't opened up, it will still be a $7500 gun.
I have a straight stocked 28" 28ga and it may be my favorite gun to shoot.

Edgar, did you hear the man say the barrel lug was marked "2" and not "0"? We need to know a lot more about this gun before we can appraise it at $7500. As Art Carney would say "Sheesh!" To let you off the hook, that serial number seems to be a 28" 28 gauge straight grip gun.

Yes, I did, Bill. I'm making an assumption the 2 is part of 28, and the 8 was light stamped, but since the book confirms it is a 28" 28ga with a straight grip, I am confident the 2 isn't a frame size. Even Art Carney would know that.
