If I remember correctly at the beginning of the 20th century (1900) the average man was 5" 7", weighted 140 lbs., and lived an average of 47 years. Over several decades I have met very few Parker collectors that came close to those specs. Build the gun to fit you, you'll be glad you did and so will the next caretaker. Favorable modern dimensions won't hurt the value but the quality of the work should look like it was done in MERIDEN or Illion.
