Looking at the Rock Island sale,it appears to me that small gauge original guns went less than I would expect and repros brought more than expected.Bill is correct in saying that when the Japanese closed the factory the folks at Parker Repro looked at Italy,Belgium,and the UK for a manufacturer. I think the cheapest quote they got was $10,000 their cost. That is why I used to tell my customers to forget that it is a Parker. Where else can you buy a nicely engraved boxlock ejector in a case for under $5000. They are great values.
