I was wondering when those guns were going to be seen completed.
I know that my Shooting Sportsman subscription is lapsing. I hope Not before this issue...

I suspect I will be drummed out of the corps, but...
A Reproduction ain't the same as an original. Kinda like the reproduction Ford Cobras - nice cars, but... Investing Mr. Gournet's talents on these is like having Van Gogh paint flames on a '53 Chevy

Hmmm... I think another visit with David might need to be put on my calendar.
David told me this follow-up article was coming up, I didn’t know when though. I know who he was working with on the article, does David attribute co-authorship to anyone? .

What is the difference between doing the work to a repro or an original? Or any other gun for that matter. A canvas is a canvas.

I disagree John. No, a Repro isn’t the same as an original but in terms of materials, design, functionality, in fact the Repros are exact copies of the original Remington Parkers that Tom Skeuse sent to Japan to be copied, detail for detail. But this an exchange of opinion that has been hashed over again and again over the years. But there - you expressed your opinion and I expressed mine and we’re no closer to arriving at a consensus than before. We can find “faults” (things we are not fond of) with the original Meriden guns, the Ilion guns and the Japanese Repros as well, but IMO they are all Parkers. . .

Why is David T writing about Parker repros? His expertise is Brit guns and especially Purdey's. Has he been in th e US too long?
