I think is wonderful that people like upgrades. To me its a tragedy when people upgrade something that is rare to begin with.
Upgrading a VH 12- OK go for it.
Upgrading a AAHE into a Tsar's Parker- that is heresy.
Upgrading a 410 of any grade is a shame. If it's already done, so be it and buy it like Russ did.
That is my personal philosophy. We are the Parker Gun Collectors Association and there is a lot of room in the word Collectors.
But... This is my line in the sand. [People with sound minds will differ and I respect that.].....
When original markings such as grade or serial numbers are changed or altered, then it is not an upgrade, it is a fake.
All the disclaimers on paper mean nothing. The papers are not cemented to the gun.
Thats my opinion.
