But they do not. An original Parker DHE 20 gauge in the condition we see most well treated Repros would be valued at easily 4 times the value of a Repro. Parker Reproductions derive most of their value because they are one of the best made replicas on the market. They are not rare. On any given day you can probably find at least sixty Repros for sale on the Internet.
