Yes, John certainly knows 'from whence he speaks'. He has a unique Parker Bros. Double Trap which is the epitome of all double trap guns and, as he states, if a man was 'well-heeled' and knew what he wanted and had the means to place an order for a one-of-a-kind Parker we are blessed through John's generosity to actually heft the physical evidence that "never say never" should always be the catch phrase when discussing Parkers.
On the other hand of course, is the argument that to purchase a Trojan or a VH or a PH didn't require that a man be a "higher end buyer" (argueably more discerning perhaps) but that he be a man who knew quality and, by reputation, Reliability and if even of modest income wished to set himself off from the 'run of the mill' by owning a Parker and the best one he could afford.
