I have a completely unprovable and wild theory that wealthy older men during the 1920's who had money and remembered the best of the guns from when they didn't have the resources, would order a top grade Parker in damascus because that's what they remembered as the epitome of a high grade gun. They would put the gun in the cabinet and admire it, and they already had a bunch of guns to shoot, so it wouldn't get much use.
Just my thoughts and I'm sure somebody will tell me that I'm no expert and I should be banned from having these theories.
