Let me clarify. Firearms are entitled to C&R status if:
1. They were manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas of such firearms; OR
2. They are certified by the curator of a municipal, State, or Federal museum which exhibits firearms to be curios or relics of museum interest; OR
3. They derive a substantial part of their monetary value from the fact that they are novel, rare, bizarre, or because of their association with some historical figure, period, or event.
I agree that Parker Reproductions do not qualify under Category 1. But there are two other categories. I am proposing that Parker Reproductions should quality under Category 3. They derive a substantial part of their monetary value from the fact they are rare.
