I think you are missing the point of the OP. The dozen or so replies to this thread don't represent the 1300 or so members we have in the PGCA. To me even the "lowly" grade 2 is a treasure in workmanship and design. All I know is my grade 3 lifter is priced right up there with a grade 3 hammerless. To me it is a Parker that you don't see very often, especially in the condition it is in, which makes it special to me. To each his own.
