My brother once gave me a "Raulex" watch that actually had the crown and ROLEX name for my birthday.

A R.S. Parker sold in the UK in 2022 but I couldn't find the listing.
All we need are full size in focus high resolution images of the action and barrel flats, and any marks just forward of the flats.

Milton, I wonder what made a seller of a Parker Brothers TA advertise it as a Winchester? By the way, some of my nicest affordable guns that weren't Parkers were Piepers.

I have a Manton percussion gun that is certainly not of the English Joe Manton firm. But, it is very usable, strong, and with good triggers and nice barrels. Belgian copies are another case where I think the axiom "Buy the gun, not the name." applies.

Nothing fancy, just a good working gun.
