GHE 28GA Skeet

[Reggie B]

If the gun was a high condition, original Grade 2 skeet gun it would sell for well over 30k in my opinion. There are two or three grade 3 high condition 28 ga. skeet guns that I am aware of, one being priced in the high 40s and one priced about the same. A grade 3 28 gauge skeet sold at the last Morphy auction for over $50k plus the fee added to that which took it to 60k.

I think some don't realize that there were not many small bore skeet guns produced.

As for the stock, it may very well have been returned to Remington for the pistol grip stock since it does have Remington repair codes. The checkered butt pattern is correct for a Parker Remington skeet gun.

I think the guys who will be the last two bidders are watching this auction very closely. Nobody wants to pay too much but nobody wants to lose it for a measly hundred bucks either.

Just what I've been looking for the last year-28ga. skeet(VHE or GHE) with checkered butt - pistol grip stock and high condition with 90% case. Just to many questions for me.

Guys who are bidding as high as they are must know something and have the confidence of their convictions - Jump right in John, the water's fine!

Pop some Pop Corn-Pour an adult beverage of your choice and tune in to this auction just before the it hit's the 15 minute mark before it closes. Then be prepared to watch it for the next hour as two or three guys fight it out during the 15 minute rule on GB.

This one will go well north of 20k before the show is over.

John B. got it right when he said "Too many questions." At 20 grand, a Del Grego refinish would be a bargain. However, when you get into the high thirties or forties, you want to see the gun in person before you commit. At that point, you want the gun to be in original finish.
The poster who mentioned identifying bogus skeet in and skeet out markings did not apparently realize that most of the bogus skeet guns were stamped with original Parker stamps.

Did anybody notice the top lever being left of center? Why would a gun with this condition not be to the right of center. Even some well used guns will still hold their right of center position. Does this concern anybody else? I would also like for the seller to turn the pistol grip cap around the right way to make sure it lines up correctly.

Don’t think this one will reach those dollars Bill. John there was discussion recently on this forum about top lever positions. Some of our more knowledgeable members commented that it is not that great a concern with a Parker. I am like you though I like to see them right of center.

Here are the top levers of the highest condition two guns I have.
