I have seen it happen in other fields of collecting. The sophisticated, advanced collectors reach a level of “connoisseurship” such that only the most rarified examples gratify.
The unseemly corollary to this is that, in off-hand moments, lesser, run-of-mine pieces are occasionally assigned dismissive or disparaging epithets by those same collectors. In contrast there was that time I arrived at my club’s trap field bearing a 12-gauge; 2-framed, 30-inch-barelled Trojan, all amid a sea of repeaters; and the comparatively unjaded range officer essentially said, “make way for that special gun”.

in my last year of buying guns has been slim...I bought that 43 1/2 inch barrel richland 10 ga turned into a 12 ga 3 1/2 inch magnum...a savage model 219 single shot in 22 hornet...and will be getting a stevens 22 crackshot in a few days....for some reason as of late the odd ball single shot 22 s have caught my eyes and heart... and to be honest you can buy several of these little rifles to what a good parker will cost....charlie

Allen Newell sent me these pictures of a Very pretty Parker Grade-0 “Boat Anchor” with beautiful “feather crotch” American black walnut.

Charlie- you will have a LOT of fun with the M219 22 Hornet! They are fun little rifles and most shoot very well.
