For $52,000, I would rather see a picture of the PGCA letter before I bother to look at a picture of the gun. I can put up with a few warts on the gun better than I can put up with a letter that shows that the gun is a fake.

Default Interesting CHE

The letter, and pertinent tables from TPS are shuffled into the photos.

There are four pertinent points of decision relative to this Parker:

1 28 ga
2 24 inch barrels
3 CHE - only 24 inch 28 ga CHE archived.
4 Fully restored

Relative to 1; were this 410 ga several bids would be noted

Relative to 3; there are many thousand un archived twentieth century Parkers - would discovery of another 28ga/24 inch/ CHE destroy the uniqueness of this gun?

Best, Austin

I think if that turned out to be the case the value (not the asking price) of the gun might be reduced by 10 - 15 percent.
