Clean original small bore guns of any make are bringing more than ever. Average hunting and using guns are very flat now. 12 gauge anything is slow to sell. I can remember not that long ago if you walked into a gun show with a Parker you drew a crowd. This morning gunsinternational has 460 Parkers listed. That really takes away some of the mystique surrounding any fine gun. Buyers want something that is rare and hard to find. Also, I have lately encountered buyers who do not shoot. They just collect. They want the guns perfect but will pay top dollar, It baffles me because I am a shooter and hunter first.
