Dean, I have not heard a word about the over/under venture in a few years. I,m not sure they are doing anything at all. The name of the company was "Parker Brothers Makers"

Thanks Dave - I hadn't heard anything lately either.

So apparently they didn't even own the name "Parker Brothers". Seems there was a problem with Remington about that, if I remember correctly...

The "Parkerbrothersmakers.com" website is still up. Take a look. Kevin McCormack and I and others inspected the new over under at one of the last Vintage Cup shoots at Millbrook, New York. Kevin shot the gun, I did not. There is probably some comment on this forum about the gun if you feel like juggling the search function. The Parker Brothers Makers over under will never be considered a real Parker. The gun is made in competition format. Kevin, I, and the makers had an extended chat over the gun. I offered to take the gun on the Mid Atlantic NSSA and NSCA circuit, but I never heard from them and never saw the gun being displayed at a competitive shoot. That Vintage Cup was the last time I saw the gun.

Well, I think The Charles Parker Co. Retained the rights to the "Parker Brothers" name back in 1934. That is why Remington used the name "Parker".
Who knows what exactly happened to the Parker Brothers name over time since the CPCo. Is gone now.
The O/U are technically "Parker Bros. Makers"
I can't figure out how anyone thought the O/U venture was a good (or catchy) idea...
There is a 2012 price list on their website. $99,000 for an A1S !! The Galazan Parker sounds good!

Bill, I think your right. I believe the last time I saw the Parker Brothers Makers gun was Sandanona. In fact I was right around the corner today from Sandanona at Safari Outfitters.

Robin Hollow has this 28 ga http://www.robinhollow.com/gunpages/121313026.htm for sale. Is this one of the CSMC 28 ga guns?
