"Grand National Quail Club" Repros
Since my interest in Parker Reproductions began in ~1985 I've not seen or even heard of a special edition of Parker Reproductions produced that were offered by the Grand National Quail Club. According to the seller these were offered by the GNQC out of Enid, OK in 1991 for their 25th Anniversary in a limited edition of just 25 guns. This 28-ga. DHE, 26", Q1/Q2, SG, SPL, ST Repro is #25 of 25 and carries S/N 28-2202. I do not know if this special edition was available in other gauges or configurations -- if you do, please let us know! This edition differs from other special edition Repros in that they do not have their own set of serial numbers as do the National Sporting Fraternity League, Buffalo Bill Historical Center and Steel Shot Special editions. This special edition appears to have been taken from remaining stock-on-hand as the production facility had already been closed a couple of years prior to this edition's offering.
This gun is currently being offered for sale on GI. The only identfying characteristic I see from other standard DHE Repros is the engraving on the gun's right barrel.
