This link will take you to an article that David Trevallion wrote that appeared in SHOOTING SPORTSMAN MAGAZINE several years ago. This will be a good start on what a Parker Reproduction is:

Default Reproduction chart

I have been following this link from the beginning. It seems the idea has stalled.

I have wondered about all the "P" designation guns. I thought the term "prototype"would indicate that the model would have different specifications than others that followed. There appears to be a large number of Parker reproductions that are presented with the prototype designation. What would the differences be between the guns in the same gauge that would earn a gun the "prototype" designation?

Having a category of guns with the "P" designation, listing the differences between each, would be interesting.

Has the idea of the Parker Reproduction Chart idea been shelved? I certaintly hope not.

Thanks to all those that contribute their knowledge of all Parkers to the members.

Our Research Chairman, Chuck Bishop, has indicated that he wants no part in Parkers Reproduction research.
