I was hot to trot for a Parker Repro, then my Wife and I went to the NRA Convention (I think that was a year it was in New Orleans) and I shouldered the little Model 23 Classics in .410-bore and 28-gauge. They fit me good. I was standing at the counter at Guns Unlimited to buy them on 17 November 1986, the day the Volkmer-McClure Gun Owners Relief Act went into effect. The price back then with Nebraska sales tax included was $1359.95. I was already out in Nebraska bird hunting.
