Must be a type-o, maybe one to many digits and a comma out of place? !

it is a very rare one, you'd want it if were a 16

"made in 1903, actually has unique engraving for a CHE, as there are 2 extra birds on sides of the action being flushed by the dogs. With only 789 CH 12ga. guns made with fluid steel barrels "


well - OK - maybe a typo

One too many digits? How about two too many?

I know this dealer and he probably hit the wrong key but I'm sure it's $12K+. I have bought CHE 20's for less.

That is a wonderful Grade 4.

One step above "roundelle" engraving style.

Okay, if someone makes an offer, of course; that's cool. It is a sweet Parker. But gee whiz!
