I have never considered age when buying a Parker. But what do I know!

condition, condition and condition are the biggest things that affect on price. Followed by gauge and grade.

I know a few folks that would pay more for a newer Remington era gun as compared to the exact same gun made 20-30 years earlier. I do not know of a situation where someone would pay more for a gun just because of an older age but there's probably a collector out there with some reasoning to do so but I would venture it's isolated and not the norm.

Randy I am just the opposite. The Remington era guns don't appeal to me as much as those made in Meriden. Not because of age, but because I think the fit/finish is more appealing. They just feel better in hand to me.

I'm sure there are a lot more folks that share your opinion Reggie vs the folks that like the Remington era guns.

Personally, I can’t stand some of the dogs on the later Meriden and Remington guns. Just too cartoony looking.. Just my opinion though. I’d pay more for a setter that doesn’t look like it was drawn by Walt Disney.

It appears to me that the Remington guns in the lower grades like the V have better wood than V guns from Meriden. On the other hand many of the G and P grades from the turn of the century or before have great wood. I think that was because of a better supply of good walnut at favorable price then than in later years.
