I don't look at Parker Reproductions as something made in Japan in the same light as many other products that came out of Japan. After all, weren't they designed by an American born in the USA, the brainchild of an American born in the USA, built by an American company headquartered in the USA (albeit utilizing a production facility located in Japan), stock wood supplied by an American company located in the USA, marketed by an American company located in the USA and sold through a network of American dealers in the USA?

Furthermore, Parker Reproduction cases were made in Italy and the snap caps were made in England.

If anything, given the USA, Japan, Italy and England connections, Parker Reproductions was/is an international endeavor with worldwide reaching proportions to be enjoyed and collected by many generations yet to come . . . and they're here for us right now.
