I completely agree with that statement.

So what is it really?

I cant believe it’s the geographic parameters during production i.e.Philly vs. Utica Foxes.
I dont believe it’s continuity of production i.e. Superposed production during WWII.
Use and history? NIB/unfiredd 100 year old specimens begs that question.
Soul? Maybe those of you who shoot both can answer that.
I can answer to the "soul" question having toted both originals in the uplands as well as my "Skeuese Parkers" - My original Parker Bros. guns have it - it's just there right between my hands - but my "Skeuese Parkers" don't....yet.
