Default Original Box for A1 Special ?

Check out EBAY auction number 352853234276 it appears to be an original box for a Parker A1 Special 2 barrel set. I couldn't figure out if the serial number appears on the box or not, it would be pretty cool if one of our members had this gun and could get the box.

I believe it is for a Parker Repro, not an original Parker Bros. gun. Others may have more info than I do.

That is definitely a Parker Reproduction box. The Quail 1 and Quail 2 choke markings is decisive.

Look anything like that over closely - one showed up on eBay years ago with the Meriden CT address including Zip Code!

Label says 2 barrel set serial # 12-203.
There should be two boxes!

Parker Repro boxes are out there often for purchase.

Heck, I have a few here in my shipping room. And one is for an A-1 special as well.
