Keep in mind, boys, that I'll bet more than one Parker employee lost a son at Pearl Harbor, Okinawa or some other such place. I have zero doubt that any Parker employee would spin in his or her grave seeing their gun made in Japan. That doesn't mean anything to a lot of people. It does to me.
True, but then again the Japanese already got all the money they'll ever get on Parker Reproductions, since they haven't made them for 20 years. Now when you buy one, a good old American hunter, collector or firearms dealer gets the cash, same as with an original! As far as comparing quality to the originals, I've heard many reports that CSMC's Foxes, Model 21s and their Remington ($50,000) Parker are superior to the original, so it may be possible that the Parker Repros are superior to the originals too. I don't know about "soul" (I thought only people had souls), but I really enjoy my Repros.
