An avid Parker shooter/collector, Mr. Skeuse secured permission from Remington to use the Parker name and turned to Olin-Kodensha manufacturing in Japan to produce the guns. Olin-Kodensha was a 1962 joint venture between Olin Industries and Kodensha Co. Ltd. of Japan to manufacture the Winchester 101 O/U and Model 23 SxS shotguns. While the Winchester Repeating Arms division of Olin was never involved with the making of the Parker shotgun, the Parker Reproduction guns were originally imported under Winchester's import license and guns from this era bear that import mark on their barrels.  The company was short lived and stopped production when Olin-Kodensha was ceasing production of the Winchester 101 and 23 and the Parker project at the end of 1988. The original Parker Reproduction production records were lost in a hurricane in 1988, but the Skeuse family reports 12,225 Parker Reproduction guns were imported into the U.S. between 1983 and 1988 and only about 1,800 of them were ever made in 12g.    Price: $7,449.00 Shotgun Gauge: 12 Gauge Manufacturer: Winchester Model: DHE Serial Number: 12-01210 Barrel Length: 26 Chambers: 23/4, 3 Inch Ejectors: yes Condition: 100% Metal Condition: 100% Wood Condition: 99 Bore Condition: 100% Barrels: 28/26 Barrel Type: steel Action: break open Triggers: single select Stock: Walnut LOP: 14/14 Rib: solid Finish: Blued Weight: 7Lbs Sights: bead Manufacture Date: 1985?
