Parker repros vs. Parker originals

[Mills]

I don't quite have the funds for an original 28 gauge and the repros are probably my only hope.

[C.O.B.]

I have had several Repo's in both 20 & 28. IMHO the 20's are heavy but the 28 is a dream. If you can't pony up 5 figures for a real one the repo will down a bird just as well as an original.

When the repo is still in the field 125 years from now (provided there are fields and birds to use one in) that will tell the tale.

Gentlemen, at the risk of sounding elitist, can we please stop using the word repo in describing a Parker Reproduction? To my way of thinking it shows a level of disrespect. I'll jump off my soapbox now.
