I think LeFever's are getting popular. There have been a couple that have caught my eye and which I hoped would have gone relatively un-noticed but they didn't.

I'm about to re-list a couple of guns I listed last fall (10/32 DH and a 12/30 DH) and a high condition 20-ga Trojan and I hope the market responds favorably.

I just purchased a Parker Repro 20 ga DHE in 98% condition for $2800 on GunsAmerica. I don't think that demonstrates the market is back. And I do see many other repros for sale on the various gun web sites for a lot more that don't seem to be moving much. Not sure if the market is back. Buyers are still looking for bargains and quality guns. Maybe handguns are selling 'fast and loud' but I'm not sure Parkers are selling any faster these past 2-3 years. could be wrong. (wouldn't be the first time either)

"Original pieces" reminds me of the time I got out of work and drove 6 hours to New Jersey to look at a fastback Mustang, in the ad they mentioned "new Ford fenders". They were new to the car, but definitely not new. I got home just about in time to go back to work, without the car.
