It looks to me like a beaver tail forend that took a wicked blow from something. As far as the value you asked about start with what you paid for it. A 20 gauge straight stock skeet gun with single trigger and beaver tail forend might be one of those rare Parker’s that you could get back what you put into it. Maybe even make a little profit.

Michael if you start with $10,000 to fully restore that gun correctly you may have money left over for a few trips to McDonalds. Do not count on recovering your investment if your plan is to make the gun shootable.

Post pictures of the barrel flats with clear markings. A GH is unlikely to be a skeet gun. Does it have a two piece extractor, suggesting ejectors? What is the serial number? We can look up the options that are original to the gun in the Serialization Book.

[Dean Romig]

It is definitely an ejector gun, there being no stop screw in the lug for an extractor rod.

It’s a GHE Skeet gun.

Dean, not neccesarily a skeet gun. It would depend on the barrel flat markings. Field guns with skeet options are not uncommon. I own a VHE with all options choked modified and full of the skeet gun era. We will wait for the poster to post pictures of the barrel flats and serial number. Great gun, I wish I owned it.

Bill, the barrel flats are clearly stamped SKEET OUT and SKEET IN in the second picture on page 1 of this thread. Of course, my eyes are younger than yours and I recently got new glasses so you’re at a disadvantage...
