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.

We've seen a number of Parkers in all gauges, frame sizes and grades where there is no frame size on the lug but other stamps are sometimes there.
I don't believe that 2 represents the frame size or even the 2 from 28 gauge with na light, invisible strike of the 8.
