Default Never say never?

Please read the description very carefully. Serial numbers match, could it be legit?

00? Pretty nice condition, but are plain VH20s bringing 6500?

I take it you mean the 00 frame?
I see no photographic evidence that the description of the frame size is accurate.

It is a nice gun, but the price is unreal for it.

A friend inquired via their e-mail system about its legitimacy, my friend then informed me about the gun, I called KTP on his behalf and spoke with someone in their gun dept., he answered affirmatively that it is indeed a 20 on a 00-frame with lightening cuts in the water table, he couldn't answer further questions, but said he'd have a rep with more specific knowledge on this gun call me back -- that was a few days ago and I haven't gotten a return call nor has my friend received a response.

Dean, please take a tape rule with you and report back if you should stop by today.

00 frame, 15/16" between the pins if I recall correctly. Dean, please report back.

Some things just seem too good to be true....

Case in point -

This VH is exactly as a 20 gauge on the 0-frame should be, right down to the stamps on the lug and serial numbers on the 3 major parts.
It will sit at KTP for a long time unless they change how the ad describes it and the price of course.

It is a “transition” gun with no Parker Bros. Or Parker anywhere on the frame, except on the water table.

Just my HO, Dean

Thank you Dean. No wonder why they never returned our inquiries.
