Reproduction Production Stats ?

[ForrestArmstrong]

Gentlemen, I'm having a little trouble searching for production data on Parker Reproductions- numbers, dates, grades, gauges, etc. Is there a thread or is the data posted elsewhere? I did read Allen Newell's thread. Thanks in advance.

All records were lost in a flood....The parker story has the best info about the number of guns produced. SXS ohio

There's some good information in this six page article from the Modern Parker Paper album in the All Albums section of this site:

There is a small amount of stats on the Parker Grades web page in the repro section. Not much but it is about all I have ever seen.

Thanks Robin. A surprising large number A-1 custom grades. Sure would be nice to have a 410 BHE!

DHE 28 Gauge 4,203
DHE 20 Gauge 5,800
DHE 12 Gauge 2,137
DHE 12 Gauge Steel Shot 350
DHE 12 Gauge Sporting Clays 125
DHE 410 Gauge 33
BHE 28 Gauge 7

BHE 410 Gauge 9

Plus 500 16 Ga barrel sets that fit on the 0 frame 20ga DHE

Forrest, the production total of "Custom Engraved A-1" at 300 probably includes the total number of A-1 guns intended for engraving, not the total actually engraved. Unengraved examples were sold in quantity by Galazan's, and other dealers and individuals ended up with more. In my opinion, they are a great investment if you can find one.

[ForrestArmstrong]

Bill, wonder if the $49K Remington Parker made by CSMC utilizes remaining Galazan unfinished repros?

[Dean Romig]

No they aren't. The Remington/CSMC Parker is a 28 Ga, on a 00-Frame. The "in the white" A1-S Repros were all 12 ga. guns as I recall, with possibly a few 20 ga. guns.

[Bill Murphy]

Dean is partially correct. They were 12s and 20s, but more than a few 20s. If there were unfinished A-1 28s in need of engraving, they would be selling for $25000 or more.

[Dean Romig]

Really Bill? I don't recall seeing any CSMC (or any other vendor for that matter) "in the white" A1-S 20 ga. Repro's for sale.
How many of those might there have been available?

Anyone?
