Saw one, at the Grand, two years ago. Was not that impressed for the money. They did not have one to try shooting a round of trap. They had, what I suspect, was their prototype. For that much money you can get several more proven guns. Fit and finish was fine, as you would expect of any gun in this price range. I did not think that it was the cats meow or even out of the ordinary in todays gun world. Now had it been made it 70 or more years ago they would have been a step ahead of the other O/U's, but who are we really talking about? The Browning Super and maybe the Remington 32 as their only real competition. Both of them are dated by todays designs.
Now if you think that you have to have the O/U that Parker wished it could have built, or a O/U that they might have built, or were just considering building, then go ahead. But calling it a Parker or putting Parker on the side no more makes it a Parker that putting Fox on it would make it a Fox. A never built design is still just that to me, never really built by the original maker. This is no more real than the Parker 28's Remington is having made. I know they are all sold this year, but they are not real Parkers and Remington owned Parker at the end. So if they can not make a "real Parker", which was once really made by Parker and then later Remington, why does some one else claim to be able to when the gun they are making never existed except on paper?
