Ross,

Go to the PGCA Home Page and click on "Parker Grades" then scroll down to "The Parker Reproduction by Winchester" section which contains production info. At the bottom of that section you'll see a button "View Winchester Reproduction Literature". That will take you to some interesting articles and brochures from the period.

Thank you for the comments and info. Good suggestions. I guess we have to appreciate the Repos on their own merit and what they "are" as a group. I admit, I much favor "originals" but these seem to have some attraction themselves, and they certainly are very nice shotguns at that. Appear to be fine quality. I'll read up more.
