I think the 10's are a hoot to shoot, and given two Parker's in identical condition, I would pay a premium for the 10 gauge. I may not use them as often as a 12,16 or 20 gauge but reloading for the 10 gauge is not all that difficult, and it's a great winter diversion from shoveling snow off the roof. Heck, if you roll crimp, and use the same gun, you don't even need a reloading press. I would agree that the short ten's sell to a limited number of shooters/collectors, but to those that enjoy them, value should go hand in hand with the numbers produced, and perhaps more importantly, the numbers that have survived in shootable condition.
