The 3 sons are. Or maybe there were 4.

One missing figure on the Repro chart is the number of A-1s by gauge rather than just the 150 total. Mr. Skeuse probably has that figure or a close estimate.

Does that 150 count include those that were “in the white”??

Yes, Dean, I would guess that the Gournet .410s were included in the 150. However, I don't believe the 150 figure. If there are 150 A-1 28s and .410s, where are they?

No Bill - I was asking about the unengraved “in the white” A-1 Specials.

The "Gournet" A-1 .410s were the "in the white" guns, but not 150 of them. Geofroy probably knows how many he was given, the rest, who knows?

Geoffroy was the in-house engraver for Tom Skeuse and worked in that position for many years… I’ve heard something like 10 years.
But many were sold actually in the white to allow buyers to have them engraved to their specifications by an engraver of their choice.

The recent Sept. 2023 Guyette & Deeter, Inc. auction featured two Parker Reproductions that are truly rare birds -- at least to myself and likely many others.

1. We all are aware that Parker Reproductions were produced in DHE, BHE and A-1 Special Grades in 12, 16, 20, 28ga. and .410 bore, as well as several commemorative editions. But, were you aware Parker Reproductions were considering an AAHE Grade offering as well? This Parker Reproduction AAHE 20ga. 2-bbl. set shown below is likely to be one-of-a-kind and the only one in existence. S/N 20-241. Sold for $19,200.00.

2. We are also aware that the Sporting Clays Classic model in an edition of only 125 was originally offered only in DHE Grade as a 12ga. w/28" bbls. But, the Sporting Clays shotgun shown below in BHE Grade is the first one I've ever seen or encountered. (Note: G&D, correctly, did not identify this as a Sporting Clays Classic model.) This gun was made up with 32" non-original Parker Reproduction barrels having Briley choke tubes. S/N 12-0063. Sold for $4,680.00.

Yup, they are both very rare guns that any of us would love to own.
