Thank you folks for showing some outstanding Parkers, notice I said "Parkers" because I believe they are, just a variation like Parker Brothers, Remington Parkers and Parker Reproductions guns. Some people have had Parker repros charcoal case colored and the heavy original finish stripped off to a hand rubbed lacquer and oil and the result is outstanding. So many Repros had outstanding wood and some have been expertly restocked with even better wood.

We have had Repros on the racks with original guns at exhibitions and its hard to tell the difference, I have to look closely. They are outstanding guns and if a person wants an 28ga, he would do well to look for a Repro.

And Greg, thanks particularly for showing the quilted claro stocked gun. I've not seen that wood variation before. Just great and I hope to see it in person.
