Since I started buying guns, the key to most value assessments has been on originality. This point was driven home more so with American made guns than British doubles. The Parker repro A1 specials allowed people to embellish them using a number of artisans. The original Parker upgraded guns are not "original", but certainly done very well and at a comparable price of a repro. There are pros/cons to each type of gun.
I guess what I'm trying to understand with this group, is how much a Repro's value compares to a nicely done upgrade on an original Parker?
I understand these are just opinions with no definitive answer.
Once again thanks,
Ken
