All you guys wishing for Parker re-pros missed your chance. I remember when they were clearing them out at a very nice price. About a third of what they sell for now and it took longer than it should to sell them all. People always want what use to be made but the fail to buy it in high enough number to keep it in production too often. Plus it always comes down to cost. Buyers seem to live about 30 years in the past in what they think a reasonable price for something should be. I remember in early to mid 90s 20ga 26" SST being sold at closeout through adds in Gun List? or Shotgun News? for about $1500. Had to work to help pay for school so I didn't have disposable income to buy one. I don't believe the general closeout price ever dropped below $1995. Several dealers selling them at that price. I recall Guns Unlimited, Cape Outfitters, and I think Jaqua's . . . if my memory isn't playing tricks on me. I think there was one more. Dunn's/Paul Jaeger, Grand Junction, TN. And you are correct on the pricing. $1995 was the lowest they ever sold for. The extra barrels I bought for my Steel Shot Special were $400. JR

Larry, there were only the three dealers you mentioned that closed them out. DHE-grade DT guns sold for $1995.00, 2-bbl. sets sold for $2695.00 Add $100.00 each for ST, BT forend and 12-ga. guns.

My two barrel 28 gauge came from Guns Unlimited, cost $2795 because of the beavertail. The sent my snap caps later, no charge. I bought my oil bottle at the Nashville NRA show from another dealer who had a few left. It was an astounding piece of American shotgun history. Only Tony's introduction of the A-10 was as good a deal. Third place in the bargain class was the Inverness with the proper options.

Agree on the good deal part. And if you look at what the standard price was (I seem to recall $2895 for the typical DHE version), the 20's and 12's haven't suffered a whole lot of inflation since they stopped making them. 28's, somewhat more--probably because there were so few original 28ga Parkers.
