We've been over the "Real Parker" issue several times before both on this forum and on the previous forum as well. Some have even made the distinction that the only "Real Parkers" were the ones made in Meriden by Parker Bros. and that the Parker shotguns produced by Remington in the Illion plant are nothing more than early reproductions. I wouldn't draw such a fine line as that and I am of the mind that the Parkers made by or commissioned by or authorized by the owner of the name are in fact "Real Parkers". But that's just me.... everybody has an opinion and everybody has a right to voice their opinion - but we've been here before and there were never any conclusions drawn then either.
