Default Why am I attracted to old war horse Parkers?

I suffer from a love of old SxS shotguns that have lived an active life. Worn finish but no restorations or poor care/storage, just lots of honest wear. They are like an old hunting dog to me, a full life of bird hunting but showing their age and scars gracefully. I love old bird dogs! When I first got into gun collecting it was condition-condition-condition. But as I have gotten into my late innings, I have found room in my collection for a few old war horse guns that exhibit a full life of bird hunting. Does anyone else feel this tug when an old war horse Parker comes to market.
