There are those who prefer pistol grips and there are those who prefer straight hand stocks. So, value is a matter of the preference of the individual. I guess they call it "subjective".

The fact that straight hand grips and half pistol grips (or round knob) are rarer probably won't figure into value unless the subject gun is a high condition or small bore collector gun.

I would always pay more for an English stock and as you call it a 1/2 grip over any pistol grip, and in Fox graded guns I always like the Prince of Wales grip over a pistol grip. Maybe its the rareness, or just the improved handling when shooting at game birds in flight. But its just what I like.

The blue book of gun values adds 20% for a straight gripped Parker over a pistol gripped gun.
