Winchester Parker Reproduction Indentification

[EdSartell]

Gentleman,

Hello It's been quite some time since I logged in. I just purchased a (mint) Winchester Parker Reproduction A-1 Special, 12 gauge two barrel set 26" IC & MOD, 28" Mod & full, with leather bound oak case and cover. I have the Parker identification and serialization book and the two Parker History books.

I can't seem to locate by serial number when this gun was manufactured. It does however have "Made in Japan" engraving.

Serial number for this gun is 112-044. Does anyone have any info on these guns?

Much appreciated,

Ed

Hi neighbor!

That low number 044 should make it among the earliest. Possibly around 1989 - 90 I would guess. Somebody here probably has a more accurate date.

Good to see you on here again Ed.

Yes it's been a while... I got this from Robin Hollow Outfitters at Addieville. Looking forward to Bird Season.....

I moved to Reading in '72.... still here. Graduated RMHS in '81.

GO ROCKETS!

Oops..... I'm showing my age, I graduated in '66. We had just a few years earlier stopped using the leather football helmets and gone to the newfangled plastic ones. Go Rockets indeed!

The serialization book will not give you information on the Repro. Mr. Skeuse is a better source. By the way, I graduated from RMHS (Richard Montgomery High School, Rockville MD) in 1965. We also were the "Rockets".

Where in Rockville, I presume, did you grow up Bill?

We lived off of Viers Mill (Autre court) before moving to Gaithersburg when I was very young.
