Ok so maybe I didn't get the deal I thought- can't believe I missed this before- but the for end has a different serial number. Barrel and action are number 240101, while the forend is 230101. I bought this gun to shoot - not resell so I'm not so concerned - and I paid $900 for it, so either way I think it was worth it- bit what do you parker experts think this does to the value? Also doesn't it seem odd it's exactly one digit off?

Sounds like a good deal to me. The chance that someone could have found a replacement forend exactly 10,000 SNs apart are staggeringly small. This could be a very rare case of someone picking up the wrong punch.

My 16 ga of exactly the same configuration below:

P.S. How did a Connecticut Yankee get a name like Jeff Davis???

Nice! Looks familiar. I'd post a picture but I cannot get a clear one. I think I need some natural light. Every picture I take is either very dark or has too much glare. Yes, does seem odd that they are 10,000 off. It would be interesting to see the configuration of the gun that has serial number 230101. If it is a non splinter forend, or a non ejector forend that would lend some credence to an error. Also- are forends gauge-specific?

Jeff,
I would say you got a great deal and this spring when the clubs start shooting sporting clays again you, me, and Dave can all take our 30" 16 gages to Wallingford Rod & Gun Club for a round of clays.
