The reproductions have many adherents. They are nice guns. I owned one once but sold it because I thought it was on the heavy side for a 20 bore. The checkering on the DHE's was not up to Parker standards on most of them I have seen. It also has an incredibly hard finish on the stocks. I took the finish off and did the stocks with oil. I recut the checkering and cut mullered borders. The gun looked a lot better. I also redid the barrels even though the gun was new. I fully understand why people like them, but for me, I'll stick to the originals.
