Wow, that is certainly is a different response to the 9 BHEs you claimed were built back on page 3 of this thread.

The nine BHEs were completed guns, or maybe there were 33.

I think the thing we can take from this is that comparing a 000-Frame Parker .410 to a 0000-Frame Repro is exactly like comparing apples to oranges. Bill said it best though.

Can anybody state w/fair certainty that the firing pins themselves are exactly the same diameter on all Repro's?

If so, the answer is found by scaling the photo..

Bill, what is it about them having been engraved by Gournet makes them unattractive to you?

$35000 to $75000, maybe way more. I have watched Geoffroy work on several and they are worth every penny anyone would pay. I am a little short on cash and trading material.

I just finished engraving a Parker Repro , # 28-53 28ga , 2 28 barrels and a 410 barrels . Parker Repro . Brian Dudley is bluing the barrels .

Was this an in-the-white A-1 Special that you engraved Geoffroy?

[Geoffroy Gournet]

Yes , Parker Repro A1 in the white . I think they are called A1 customs , the A1 special being factory engraved . I will post pictures . Time to figure out how ...
