Correction.....Reproductions started in 1984 and the factory closed in 1989. Some guns were finished her in the states at the P. R. custom shop after everything was moved back from Japan. New gun sales ended with the close outs in 1995. Tom Skues looked for a new factory to move the operation but could not find any that would not be cost prohibitive. All hope ended when storms fluded the storage facility and all was lost.....bummer! Parker repro's of their quality will never ever be made again at a price they sold for. That said Parker repro's we see for sale now are a true value in the market that would cost double or triple what they are selling for if available today brand new! Remingtons by Galizan AAHE in 28ga is 50,000.00 I can't afford that one!....But I can own and shoot the Skues guns and even own a DHE-410/28....(-: Thanks all SXS ohio....
