Default Another what is it worth thread

I picked up a GH 12ga at the local gun show last weekend. I am usually pretty hesitant to buy a Parker without trying to research it beforehand, but here we are anyhow.
What caught my eye was the condition of the case colors. They look original to me, but I am no expert. I do question the finish on the wood.
I appreciate your thoughts on this.
It has 30" barrels with very nice blueing, with the the exception of some wear at the muzzles. One barrel has a very small ding in it.
The bores are bright with no rust or pitting and ring very nice.
Lockup is very tight with the lever right of center.

The gun is worth what you paid for it, I guess.

And, this isnt a gun appraisal site.

It looks like a good honest gun. I would like to see one like that at a local gun show.

It's not a GH it's a GHE and a nice one too!! It even has the original finish on the wood.

No buggered screws or anything else that would detract from it. Congrats!!

Mr. Dudley, I apologize. I didn't realize it was wrong to ask values. I am just trying to learn more.

Dean, how do you tell the difference between extractors and ejectors?

Im going to try and learn something since I don't have any ejector guns but should both pins stick out the frame at the same time when barrels are off. the left pin is not visible on this frame . Tim ejector guns have a different internal forend and also the ejectors / extractors will be split at the breach.
