Scott, not sure what you are saying in your comment. If I have offended anyone with my repro comments, it was unintentional. I think Kirk’s gun and the work Brian did on it is stunning. The wood on that gun is better than most original DHE’s. Anyone would be proud to own that gun. Everyone has their personal preferences. I was just stating mine, although in retrospect, I shouldn’t have done that in a thread about Kirks gun.
Remington Parkers are real Parkers for sure. Some of the Meridan people worked on them. I also like upgrades with the engraving done by Runge. Although I think the cyanide case hardening is lacking. If I owned one of those guns I would have the colors re-done.
So its all just a matter of personal preferences. I am in awe of the manufacturing period in which Parker guns were done. It’s a taste of pure Americana that is not lost on me and so I prefer guns that were made in that period. It’s that simple and doesn’t diminish the worth of more modern guns.
