At least 52?
Then there is a chance I can buy one!!!! They are plentiful!

George, most of them have been through the Gournet shop. Most of those are maximum effort type guns. I won't be buying one of them.

Yep, at least 52 . . . and likely more. Serial numbers tell the tale, Parker Repros were serialized per grade and gauge starting at No. 1 (with the possible exception of the early prototype DHE 20-ga., specialty NSSF and Buffalo Bill Museum guns). In the case of BHE .410s, we have a pic of B .410-0052 -- making it the 52nd B-Grade .410 built, which is the highest number we have found -- so far.

Happy hunting!

Greg
Someday we will both own one.

A few years ago, I spent three days attending a display at the Baltimore Show that included a 0000 frame BHE and a 0000 frame Gournet A-1 Special among other Parker .410s. Don't ask me any questions about that weekend. I don't remember anything. All I know is that we didn't lose anything.

Has anyone here seen, or anyone here own, a Parker Reproduction DHE .410 built on a 00-frame? I'm asking about a single gun, not a .410 that's part of a 28/.410 set.

I had asked the above question earlier in this thread. To date, there have been no responses, so I thought I'd bring it to the top for another go round. Anyone know if any Parker Reproduction DHE .410 single guns built on a 00-frame even exist?
