Being a young bloke in this collecting world - if anyone is wanting to get rid of their Parker 12 gauges I offer a low cost service for disposal, just send them to me.
But its a lot of what people have already said I think. The 12 gauge is the most common gauge and few my age want a double barrel, and even fewer want a SXS, and even fewer still want a vintage one.
The anti-thesis to this - I personally enjoy the 12 gauge guns and the few collectors my age I know do as well, purely because we can afford them. Saving up for a 16 or even a 20 is a financial undertaking even in the lowest grades. Mind you the economy is what it is, then you have a family to support, then your other hobbies, trying to buy a first home, etc. At least we can get in the game with 12's
