Thanks Eric. It was (still is I presume) at a large retailer who said its been there a while which was not surprising based on the price tag.
A 12 ga DH with 26" titanic barrels. I only handled it briefly but did snap a couple of quick pics. |

could be the lighting - the receiver looks like it may have been polished

Looks like someone used silver polish on it and tried to avoid getting it on the wood.

I initially thought that what Dean is referring to was due to a sloppy stock refinish but I think you may be right about the silver polish.
Take a look at the stock oval. I'm not not sure what was on it but it could be scratched off with a finger nail. The "sale" price on it was $7,209.66 marked down from $7,999.99. |

Robbie, does the gun have a ventilated rib?
Have you purchased the gun? I'm just curious as to what attributes the gun has that makes it special in the seller's eyes. .

I would also be interested in why they are so proud of their gun. That is a very high price for a standard D 12 gauge.

A 26" 12 gauge is the least coveted Parker, and absolutely unacceptable if the barrels were cut. As mentioned by other posters, the price is way too high.

And what is left on the frame looks like dried gun oil.
That asking oroce seems very high given the little bit of the gun that i see.
