QUESTION OF VALUE

As the late J.P. "aka- The Nose" Morgan once replied when asked about the price of a yacht- if you have to ask, you can't afford one-- That being said, and because there is a wealth (no pun intended here John) of market knowledge about all Parkers on this Forum, let me pose this one- Take three DHE optioned Parkers- a .410, a std. 10 2 & 7/8" chambers and a 12 gauge 3" Waterfowling model- single selective trigger, pistol grip capped, skeleton steel buttplate- and all in 90% original and unaltered condition-

Ranking them in order of scarcity and market value, which one would place first, then second and then third. For what it is worth in passing, I know which one I would choose if that option were made available, and I had the funds--

I have never owned or shot a .410 in my 60 plus years of shotgunning, started out with a 20 gauge single shot. But I am NOT a skeet shooter, nor do I have quail or dove to hunt. I once read that "Ike" used a Model 42 for quail at times, I am sure in the hands of an expert shot the .410 is fine, and they do have fine lines. But wow- the market demand for them is amazing!

Best of luck and safe driving to all attending the Vintagers-!!:
