The Old Reliable Parker Gun Poster by Bert Sharkey

[Sven Weber]

I found one of these "The Old Reliable Parker Gun Poster by Bert Sharkey" in some of the stuff I got from my grandparents. It seems to be fairly rare. Does anyone know more about this poster and would the market value is in todays market?

Thanks for any info.

Best,

Sven

Original, repro, or a repro of a repro?

[Sven Weber]

It looks original to me. I know it has been stored away for at least 40 years in a poster tube.

What does the back look like?

When I get home I can take it out of the frame and take a picture from the back.

I am always interested in learning things, what are the indicators that this is a reproduction?

Thanks for taking a look.

It hard for me to imagine the back of that poster, looking like that, on a reproduction.

How can you tell its a reproduction? There is a definitive diagnostic sequence followed to authenticate repros from originals. Please share it with the rest of us so those of us who one one can tell - we're all eyes and ears!
