In my case I can't agree with you Bill. I've purchased two Parkers in the past month, a V and a C grade and am feeling like my firearms budget is stretched for now. If someone would 'snap' up my 2-bbl set Repro 28 I'd go for the V grade 28. That would be something that I could afford. That's a pretty clean gun that 28. Seems most that are available lately have been redone by Turnbull or Del Grego. I didn't notice the choke designation; that would make me take a pretty close look at it also. We can only hope that some of the Parker prices will return to a level of reason in this economy.

Some orders for Parker 28s specify a choke designation. I have had two early 28s, one provenanced at cylinder and full, the other provenanced at modified and full on the original orders. The seller should try to prove his chokes original with a PGCA letter. The stock may be original, probably is, but the buttplate is a reduced #1 frame style buttplate, maybe a repro because the screws don't set perfectly. The #0 style buttplate has a different dog than the one pictured. I still like the gun, at least at the starting bid or a bit below.
