I never liked the term "Rainy Day Gun". We should have a category at an event for well worn Parkers. Maybe a display? Call is Best Character or Best Patina
In addition, I have always thought about having a shoot where the Parker you used would only have a market value of around $500 - $1000(in the hammer gun category). But for many reasons it brings much more value to the owner. And still shoot very well...
Most of the ones I have in this category are lower grades, but not all. I have a few lifters that make you wish the gun could talk. In hammer guns, these are usually guns I am happy to shoot black powder shells in.
So let's try to put something together around this. What do you think?
