Figured you would be along to take us to school Greg, thanks for the pics.

Interesting that Kenny has seen repros of the Repros..would that constitute a repo :duck:

Of the other copies I have - the bottom one differs.

I believe I have done been hornswoggled..did I get a reproduction of a Reproduction?

How do yours compare?

Other than the covers, are they identical?

You will notice that nowhere in the brochure are the guns referred to as a Parker Reproduction (with a capital P and capital R), but rather, in this particular brochure only, they are called The Parker Gun or The Parker Gun by Winchester. You may also notice that the brochure mentions that the gun was available with a SSBP or DHBP. It's assumed that Tom Skeuse subsequently named the guns Parker Reproductions in order to get around the naming rights protected by Remington.

Thanks for sharing Greg.

Wouldn't I love to find one of the DHBP 28 gauges?

Bill
You will find it if it exists. However maybe it's just my imagination but I think there are several things they put in the catalogs that were never produced.

It's buried in a pile of unicorn poop.

Thanks Phil for sharing.

This is a request or question directed to our librarian Robin Lewis: I know that we have on our website copies of SOME Parker Reproduction literature, Do we have or can we create a chronological listing of the brochures and catalogues?

I have acquired a couple but I cant even tell what year they are.
