If that gun is an original Parked M12, it is probably real. I have seen several marked exactly like that, and all were mint and original.

Handguard/Adaptor looks suspicious...too bad, nice late 12. Here is link to Cabela's page:

The handguard is not right, the guard has been replaced and the lug looks like it was poorly refinished. The small parts that should be blued are not, so someone has messed with the gun. However, the finish on the gun itself looks original.

The cannons are to big on stock? Butt plate is not original? Front bead is brass and not german silver? Heatshield does not have the dimple seven holes from rear? The only thing original is the finish. Stay away!

Oh, BTW, price is out of this world for this piece. I have seen much, much better examples at gun shows recently for less than $2k.
