Let's see some wood!

Wow- that's a beauty also! And the case is pristine. Mine is choked IC and IM according to my drop in gauge. It patterns a tad more open than that on paper with my reloads as I recall (it was a couple years ago.) It's such a sweet shooter. And it's this time of year that I start aching for the woodcock coverts! Just talking about it will keep me awake at night...worse than a kid waiting for Christmas!

Parker Reproduction chokes are stamped on the front of the barrel flats... what are those stamps?

I and F ?

[Dean Romig]

IC / MOD would make more sense. I've never seen one stamped I and F.

I agree. Curious if others have a 28 repro marked that way?

[Dean Romig]

I see in your picture for the (left) MOD choke but we can't see the stamp for the right side choke.

We're drifting way off the thread topic here, but yes, there are others that have the I & F stamped on the barrel lugs. Here's a link that'll take you to a couple of previous discussions regarding them:

The seller describes this gun as having "best exhibition wood" -- that's open for debate, but it does have a very nice, well-figured dark piece of Claro. I'm noticing the prices creeping up on high-condition Repros, this twenty has an ask of over $7K, there's also a 28ga. 2-bbl. set for sale at $9500...get 'em while you can!

It sure is an eye-popper!!
