Figured you would be along to take us to school Greg, thanks for the pics.

Interesting that Kenny has seen repros of the Repros..would that constitute a repo

Of the other copies I have - the bottom one differs.

I believe I have done been hornswoggled..did I get a reproduction of a Reproduction?

How do yours compare?

Other than the covers, are they identical?

You may also notice that the brochure mentions that the gun was available with a SSBP or DHBP. It's assumed that Tom Skeuse subsequently named the guns Parker Reproductions in order to get around the naming rights protected by Remington.

Thanks for sharing Greg.

Wouldn't I love to find one of the DHBP 28 gauges?

Bill
You will find it if it exists. However maybe it's just my imagination but I think there are several things they put in the catalogs that were never produced.

It's buried in a pile of unicorn poop.

Thanks Phil for sharing.

This is a request or question directed to our librarian Robin Lewis: I know that we have on our website copies of SOME Parker Reproduction literature, Do we have or can we create a chronological listing of the brochures and catalogues?

I have acquired a couple but I cant even tell what year they are.
