Between the two I'd take the Parker. If considering other makers I'd look at some of the Spanish guns such as AYA, Grulla and Arietta.

When the Classic Model 23 was on the market, I found one in a Baltimore gun store, a Winchester and Repro distributor. He had a .410 Classic that had had it's chokes relieved. I asked a shooting buddy whether he would be interested in such a gun. He said he would like it because he would prefer the more open chokes. I made an offer for $700 and it was accepted. My friend still has it and I would sure like to get it away from him. Good grief, they are almost five grand now.

Approx. 1984, I boubht a Model 23 20 ga Pigeon XTR lightweight. It had a semi-beavertail and single trigger. Shortly after, I bought a VH 1 frame 16, and a Sterlingworth Deluxe 16--I still have both of those guns but sold the Winchester. Details are sketchy now but as I recall, Ernie Hausmann and Steve Cobb had stopped over at our cabin, along with another gent who was an attorney for the NRA.He was on his way out west to hunt with Wayne LaPierre and he made me an offer on the gun for just over what I had paid for it, and with few regrets I let it go.
Bottom line, I'd go with the Parker Repro
