Of course, not every collector buys such a gun as a shooter...
And not every buyer of such a gun acquires It as a wall-hanger. Some of us buy such a gun as a wonderful addition to a collection of the American gunmaker's art, and displays it as such. Nonetheless, it is a beautiful example of an early Parker Bros. high grade lifter, no matter how you slice it.
