I'm very new to Parkers (28g repro). Thank God there are people left who appreciate aesthetics and grace. I think this can be taught to some extent so its' upon each of us to show someone else what a beautiful gun feels like. We'll have to face the fact that maybe we're weirdo's who prefer to carry Leica's, fish with bamboo and shoot very old expensive guns. I'm not an old fart (at least yet...) but I'm looking forward to another (real) Parker someday. Don't we see the same thing with cars? Some have soul, some just don't. Usually the ones without soul are the new ones. To some, a car is a tool. Same with a gun. Life is short, do what makes your heart smile.
