The fishtail is an added plus on a toplever and IMHO adds to the desirability of the gun. How much it adds to value ?? maybe a little

And lets not forget that it loooooks gooood!!! Show up at the double gun shoot and all the other little boys have straight top levers and you got the "fishtail".

My current favorite Paker is an 1892 1 frame gh with 32" tubes and a fishtail toplever. Every time I pick it this gun up I admire that top lever. IMHO it would look good on any Parker and I wish I could have it on all of them.

Dean, I don't think I agree with that "small frame theory" I also have a 3 frame 10 with the fishtail top lever. Serial 75,something.
