I started this thread as an incentive for other Parker Reproduction owners to show and tell us about the Repros they have. Reggie has recently purchased a wonderful 28ga. 2-bbl. set that I’m absolutely sure others would like to see.
RE: That wild looking piece of wood you mentioned. I had shown this unique stock in the “Let’s see some wood” thread. There I explained an old wood miser I know termed it a variation of “quilted Claro”. It’s not at all very Parker-ish, nor very Repro-ish, still pics does not do it justice, only by viewing it in person are you able to appreciate how the figure changes. From head-to-heel and top-to-bottom the appearance of this stock is constantly changing under varying light conditions and viewing angles — the dark areas change to light and the light areas change to dark, kind of like vertical fiddleback, but with a checkerboard effect instead.
