Anyone know much about these? From what I have read, they are very close reproductions, parts interchangeable with originals, identical engraving patterns, etc. although the engraving & checkering may have been applied with a machine.

Good guns, very well made. I have one and love it. They are holding their value and are ever increasing. Guns with double triggers, long barrels and straight grips go for a premium.

I've only had my 28 gauge Parker "repro" for 25 years.. Lots of quail & pheasants have experienced its effectiveness.

Very good shotguns, very well made...mine is still very tight after several thousand rounds.

Not sure of "fair market value"...because mine will go to one of my sons and/ or grandsons!

If you can afford it...buy one!!

Surprisingly the 20's and 28's are fairly common today, 12's with 28" or longer barrels are hard to find, particularly with double triggers. My 28 has sucked up a few thousand rounds with no problems at all.
