David Trevallion wrote an article on the subject of the Parker Reproductions in Shooting Sportsman just a few issues back - less than a year for certain.
Very informative. .

Yup, that’s it. I thought it was more recent... my how time flies.
David tells me there may be a follow up to that. .

There are a couple or more unengraved A-1 Specials on gunsinternational right now. In my opinion, they are the best buy in Repros. Unfortunately, they are competing with some very nice original Parkers in the same price range.

These are left over new A-1 specials that were intended to be for custom grade guns. The custom grade guns were engraved stateside by Goeffory Gournet.
These guns had finished wood and all metal was in the white, ready for engraving. There are still a good amount of them around today, mostly in 12g. I have collaborated with Geoffroy on finishing a number of these over the last 5 years. Maybe 6-8 of them. I currently have one in the works for myself too.
