Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

SHOOTING SPORTSMAN magazine, October/November, 1988,
"The Parker Reproduction, An Interview with Jack Skeuse by
Stuart M. Williams...
Quotes....
Question: Williams:
"Tell me about your .410. In what grade or grades is it made?
Are you going to limit it strictly to a run of 100 guns? On what frame
is it made? How much does it weigh?"
Answer: Skeuse: "The .410 is on two frame sizes. The 00 frame is a 28 gauge
that can be ordered with the .410 barrel as a second or third barrel and
is comparable in weight to the original Parker on a 000 frame.
The new .410 is available on a 0000 frame. It is the frame Charles Parker
would have built it on if he were alive today. It weighs about five and a half
pounds, a weight we feel is ideal for this bore, light but not whippy.
We expect them to sell for the same price as our 12, 20, and 28 gauge guns of
the same grade. At present we have just 100 on order."
Take away from this interview....
Late 1988 interview
PR plant closed at end of December 1988
100 of the 0000 frame .410's ordered
Ordered late but production ended in 1988
Just how many of the 0000 frame guns were actually produced and assembled?
As it is said " the thrill is in the hunt"!!
