WOW, nice gun!

I would say somewhere around $5.5 - $6K if it has remarkable wood... and presuming, of course, that it is a DHE.

That's a great and hard to find configuration. I think Dean's estimate is reasonable, but I wouldn't be afraid to spend a little more. Look up Kenny Graft, he'll tell you what they're selling for.

Thank you.
Those that have read Ed Muderlak's "Old Reliable" book learned to be very keen when reading gun descriptions.

The case/dust cover/snap caps are described as "original". The gun is not described as original, but rather as being in "Very high condition". Does the "Very high condition" mean "100% all original very high condition" or does it mean "refinished and/or altered in any way to a very high condition"?

There is a difference. What would you rather pay good money for? An original in very high condition or a refinished/altered gun in very high condition.

I don't see any intent on Jay's part to be misleading on this hypothetical gun.

Just my two cents ,I agree with you Dean ,but I don't think Greg meant Jay was being misleading but possibly the seller ,if Jay was thinking of purchasing this firearm !What Greg says is correct ,be careful ,I drove nearly 6 Hours across our state this past spring to look at a repro. described exactly as this one and when I got there the Mod and Full barrels were added to the gun and also the two barrel case ! I was so dissapointed and aggravated by this that I passed on the gun which was at a much lower price than suggested here ,a decision I regret ,but very soon after the gun sold ! I don't recall the buyer ,but it was posted here so at least one of our members got it ! Again ,just my two cents ! Best ; Russ

Good points Greg and Russ. I guess I wasn't considering a gun that is relatively new (thirty years or so) might have been cobbled together considering there are so many NIB Repros out there that we see all the time.

I have the same configured gun in 28ga except mine has a splinter FE and it had no canvas cover(I got one eventually), and it lost a little case coloring due to the receiver section not being wrapped properly, not wrapped at all actually, in the case for shipping - that wool felt is abrasive. I paid in the high $5K range. Mine is serial #1 and one of the NSFL series. Condition was essentially new but it had been fired.... I know that because the barrels had not been cleaned after firing and the dealer didn't even look down them to see. When I told them about that over the phone the reply was "we get a lot of guns and can't look at them all"...??.... Really???

Default price check

I did just buy the exact gun SG-DT-BTF, great wood, case and cover. All very nice and correct, gun was fired 50 times with Q1/Q2 barrels only. Gun looks new! The seller would not move on his price of 6800.00 I dragged my feet working on this deal for 2 weeks, seller was firm!!! but I decided that this was a very scarce set and paid the price! I did get the seller to ship it at no extra cost. That's the thing about these guns, I was not the first person to find it, if it was a better price it would have been sold and I would not ever of know it existed....I have paid all the money for most of my special repro's...but I have them! I think this one was about 800.00 over my perceived price it should be....but were you gunna get one?, and be the lucky buyer to get it. Just remember what a deal the repro's are at this price! Its a brand new Parker made in Japan. No other American shotgun brand maker can come close to theme. I look for them to continue going up...in a couple years todays paid price will not matter!
