There are several factors at work in the classic gun market now.First,tastes have changed and people that shoot now generally want more modern guns.Therefore the "shooter" grade doubles have dropped in value.Second,mint "collector"grade guns are bringing more than ever.The market is changing to a pure collector market.Third,there are a lot of classic guns out there now.One of the things that drove this market when I started was Parkers and other doubles were considered rare and hard to find.The internet has killed that mystique.There are now hundreds of good doubles listed on various sites now.Economics 101,high supply means lower prices.
