After the news of the factory closure Tom looked all around the world to find a new place to have the guns made. He said that it would make the cost of his repro's over 10K each! That was back in 1989 I think. This info is in the parker story. If CSM did make a Parker DHE grade gun Im sure they would start at 15 or 16K or more, they would have bone color case and oil finished wood and similar engraving system. I have one repro 20ga. that has bone color and it is wonderful compaired to the wash they come with. For about 6K or so you can buy a repro and send it to Brad and have the wood and metal done. They then look sooo good! I hope to have one of my sets done soon....(-: thanks all SXS ohio
