Although David Dwyer is a friend and a nice guy, we can't forget that 90% DHE 28 gauges are only a very small part of Parker collecting. As Craig mentions in his last post, some (most) Parkers are all they will ever be, and are not high condition, high grade or small bore. Every day, more and more Parkers are getting into the hands of people who shoot them. They are also getting into the hands of people who appreciate them and take care of them. Think about it. I shoot a lot, but no Parker that is in my hands now will be shot to death by me or anyone else in the next one hundred years. My guns are mostly beaters and shooters, but they all have value, however small, and will be enjoyed by collectors forever. Very few of our guns will be lost in some widow's closet in the future. Any Parker that is "out" now will remain "out" in the future.
