I know we all like to pick on ED-1 and rightly so in most cases. I'm not a Parker expert by any means but I do know just enough to be dangerous.

Take a look at the picture of the muzzle end. See that little space on the top rib that is blank before the matting starts. Cut barrels would not have this. Now look at the barrels them self they are almost touching each other. I dought if the barrels have been cut. I would suspect a mis-print on the length description. They don't look like they are 24" in the side view of the gun.

The blue book show's a 40% condition VH-28ga at $9000.00 value which is the current bid. I wonder where old ED set the reserve?
