Parker Repro cases . . . collectible?

[MD*GSP]

It occurs to me that a Repro sold w/out a case would turn MANY a prospective buyer away in a heartbeat and would command a pretty hefty discount to sell the gun - so from that perspective..it makes sense. Although high, the realized price does not surprise me.

I saw them too but didn't participate - like Tom shared..I would have been out at around $600.00...but I don't need a case either.

I really believe the collectability of the Reproductions in general will prove to be much higher than some seem to think, especially long term.

If they were 28 gauge cases, I could see the price. If you need one, you have to pay the price. When there were many unoccupied cases for sale during the closeout, we bought them to use for other guns. It is only occasionally that they come up for sale.

What's the difference between a case designed for a 20-ga. Parker Repro and a case designed for a 28-ga. Parker Repro?
