Parker Reproductions are for those who love the idea of a modern technology gun that is distinctly Parker. Faithful to the original design, the workmanship is impeccable, and the guns retain the dependability and handling characteristics so loved by owners of original vintage Parkers. Made for a few short years, there are less than 1500 DHE 28ga. two-barrel set reproductions in existence. This example, sn28-01304 made around 1988 COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL LEATHER CASE, SNAP CAPS, OIL BOTTLE, CLEANING RODS AND JAGS, SLIPCOVER, PAPERWORK, KEYS, ALL IN SUPERB CONDITION. We added the oil bottle and cleaning accessories, a $150 added value. This 2-barrel set represents a versatile Parker Reproduction and is an investment grade firearm that can be used and enjoyed for decades to come. And with the very desirable 28ga., English style stock, splinter forend, and traditional double triggers, it will always be a desirable gun and will continue to grow in value as you enjoy it use. This gun has gorgeous wood that is better than most others offered, and one of the lightest I have seen. The full list of specifications is shown in the tables below. Incredibly, this gun weighs just 5lbs. 7oz. with the 26” IC/M barrels and 5 ½ pounds with the 28” M/F barrels on its “00” frame. With this combination of barrels and chokes, all imaginable field and sporting clay scenarios are well covered. It appears the 26” set of barrels were added to this set, as they have a different serial number, but do fit absolutely to perfection on the hinge pin, standing breech, and action. Each set has its own forend. It is possible these were put together during the time of sale, but nobody knows for sure. The gun is priced accordingly. This is the most notable of all the 28ga. Parker DHE Reproductions that have two sets of barrels available on the market today, and at a very reasonable price. What a perfect upland gun just in time for some summer practice so it can be your deadly wand in the fall. Thanks for looking!
