I agree with the Vizla man on the subject of the duplication/reproduction/slavish recreation question. I'm pretty tired of hearing "Is it a "real" Parker, Fox, whathaveyou?" I don't care if it says Earle & Hurst on the sideplates. Getting rid of cocking indies--no problem. That isn't the essence of Lefever handling. However, if I can only afford one with laser checkering and acid chiseling I don't want it. My vote for 16/20 ga. if I had the shekels to toss on the blanket. Not sure I do.
