Default Why the high price on .410 and 28 gauge Parker shotguns?

Well, obviously, it’s supply and demand. But why such strong demand? At least now?

If they were in such high demand when most were manufactured around the time Remington came into the picture, more would have been manufactured then and more available now.

But now, they are in high demand? Why is that so? Many who fire a .410 side by side claim they hit much less effectively than with larger gauges. Plus, a 12 or a 16 gauge is going to have more shot, a wider pattern.

I want one rather badly (untouched, all original) just to have a light shotgun, it’s the rarity and being unusual that appeals to me. But, so far, even though bidding competitively on some in the past, others have wanted them more.

Why the strong appeal for the 28 gauge and .410? And will this persevere?
