Default Does your Repro have soul?

Mine does. Some have it worse than others. The keen observer will actually see it oozing out.

Honest wear is the only thing that separates originals from repros.

Not as far as I can tell ! My wife's 20 gauge Browning Diana Superposed might though.

No Bob - in fact, it's not even a Repro. My repros have a lot of 'catching up' to do to have that kind of soul though.

Dean, when I saw that I thought that's the most original looking repro I've ever seen. Beautiful original

Thanks Mike. Sorry to Greg and others to have cluttered up a Repro thread with an original 20 ga. DH. I wasn't paying close enough attention and didn't realize it was a on a Parker Reproductions page.
