There's a good chance that the person who owns this gun might be a member here who might not appreciate a thread about pointing out all the defects & warts on a gun he has listed on an auction. The dealer listing this one does a lot of consignment auctions & this one could be consigned by a member.
Most of us here know how to evaluate a gun both for it's merits and demerits & will bid accordingly if we have a personal interest in the gun. This one is a true auction with a penny start & no reserve, let's see what the market as to say about it.
Just a little food for thought!

Paul, point well taken. This is a forum dedicated to learning and discussing Parker shotguns. I didn't start this thread to degrade the the gun in any way. I happen to like the gun, perfect or not. Each gun has it's own specific history and there is nothing wrong with discussing a gun whether good or bad. It's entertaining to have the experienced guys here examine and give their knowledgeable opinions on topics of merit. The added exposure isn't going to negatively impact the sale. The gun is what it is. I don't feel we need to be "hush hush" about the possibility of a gun under scrutiny could be owned by a member. No disrespect intended.
