Great job Don!!

While I generally despise anything “AI” because we are inundated by the misuse of AI at every turn on the Internet, this report, though incomplete, provides a comprehensive tabulation of most facts we know about the Parker Reproduction by Winchester.

I find it odd that no mention is made of the 16 gauge barrel sets provided by Tony Galazan and that only 52 of the .410 barrel sets were produced when I have provided clear evidence of a serialized number 54.

All in all, thanks Don!

Thanks Dean. As I mentioned here is the PM from Richard Skeuse regarding the “P” guns being “Personal” guns.

Hi Don, Thanks for your question. The P guns were Prototypes that were the first of many Parker Reproduction guns made. They were NOT for friends and famly. Your gun was sold to Cape Outfitters in Cape Girardeau,Mo.I hope this cleans up the "friends and family" mistery once and for all. Enjoy the gun and may we pass in the fields.

At least 52 BHE .410? Where are they?

I think it generated that number solely based upon the serial number observed according to the notes column. Not sure that there is a completely direct correlation between serial number and number produced in this case.
