OK, I'll show my ignorance here. Are Parker reproduction not a different animal? I thought there were Parkers made in Meridian, Remington-made Parkers, and then Parker reproductions made in Japan. Not so?

I've got Fox guns that were made in Philly and a couple that were made in Utica . If I had my way all of mine would be Philly guns but then I feel that the older guns should hold a better market value .

As to usefulness I see no difference .

All my Parker's were made in Meridian so I can't make a comparison to the Illian guns .

I have a friend that's a veritable Fox nut and he does not differentiate between Philly and Utica guns as long as they are in nice shape .
