Description:
General Specs: Parker, Year 1984, 20 Gauge, 6lbs 11oz, Chokes IC/M, LOP 14 1/2", DAH 2 1/4", DAC 1 7/16"
Serial Number: P-00061

This is a 1984 vintage Winchester/Parker reproduction, snP-0061, that is unfired (no primer marks on standing breech, no signs of use) with virtually all of the original blue, case color, and wood finish remaining on the gun.  When the owner of Reagent Chemical Co., Tom Skeuse, convinced Winchester to reproduce the Parker shotgun in 1984, the first several hundred guns were serial numbered with a prefix of P, indicating a gun produced early in the series (or a “prototype”) and usually reserved for his friends and associates.  This is one of those guns, the 61rst gun so numbered.  At 35 years of age, it is remarkable to find an unfired example, ready to chase upland game and bust clay targets, or to remain unfired for decades to come.  These guns are an exact duplicate of the original Parker guns made to modern day specs with modern steel for an incredibly strong and affordable double.  This gun is special in several ways.  First, it has the very desirable Parker Single Selective trigger.  Second it has exceptional engraving with much more detail than the later DHE Parker Reproduction guns.  Just look at the photos and you will see what I mean in the detail of the dog scenes and scroll.  And third, it has outstanding figure in the butt stock which measures a long 14 9/16” from a rear trigger position (equals 15 ½” LOP if there were a front trigger on this gun).  These guns continue to grow in value and finding one new with the leather case is getting harder to do.  The leather case has a few marks, otherwise all is new.  A great gun to carry afield, balanced well and feeling like a gun worth twice as much, you can’t go wrong with these fine reproductions. There are plenty of Parker Reproduction DHE 20ga. guns for sale on the internet, but why wouldn’t you spend a few hundred extra dollars to get the best, most beautiful Repro available?  There is no question that this is an exceptional Parker and it won’t last long, so don’t hesitate to call!  Thanks for looking.
