Nathan, I have a Damascus and fluid steel two barrel set, I don't think it was that uncommon. Very nice though. The price seems very fair if gun is in respectable condition. Bob

Your gun is listed as a 12ga. in the Parker Serialization book. Did you get a chance to check if seeal numbers match barrels to frame? Bob

I never thought to check, I will have to give him a call tomorrow. I would go look but he lives 2 hours from me. Is it possible to put 16 ga. barrels on a 12ga frame?

The serial number will be on the left side of the hinge/locking lug at the breech end of the barrels.

There are about a thousand situations that would cause a gun like you describe to be worth less than the asking price. To get an honest opinion whether your gun is in that category you would have to post lots of pictures or get a professional opinion from a serious Parker collector. A PGCA letter would help also. The letter could tell you whether the barrels were installed at the factory and how the gun came to have ejectors out of serial number sequence. The pictures could tell us whether the ejectors are Parker ejectors or someone elses. If your friend has a bunch of Parkers with steel and Damascus barrels, he has likely been putting guns together from parts for years, or he is a very perceptive collector. Sorry to be so honest but yup, that's what the situation is.

Original checkered stock cheeks and strong original case colors would be very unlikely on a D Grade Parker in this serial number range.
