As I previously said, Had I not found an original GHE 28 gauge, I would have seriously looked for and, in all likelihood, purchased a reproduction of a Parker 28 gauge. There are no real unfilled voids in my collection, of guns I have an intended use, such as upland hunting, trap, skeet or sporting clays. When I see a Parker that particularly strikes my fancy, and I can afford it, I step up, or shed something else, to make it happen. I have to honestly say that while I agree reproductions are well made, I have yet to see one that lights me up the way a well cared for, mid to high condition original gun does.
