I have an early production Repro w/ 28" bbls, straight grip, splinter and double triggers. I have the same configuration on RBL #307, only with (chuckle, chuckle) exhibition wood. They both have rather light "engraving", but that's where it ends. The Parker has better wood, better wood finish, and better wood to metal fit, better bluing, and real checkering. Both are unfired and tucked away in the safe. Only one will get sold when I can make my money (plus a flat of shells) back.
