Sadly, this is the crux of the problem. Today's society has virtually NO appreciation of history, heritage or craftsmanship -- all values associated with the Parker and other fine doubles.
Thus, we have utilitarian cars, degrading societal values, cable TV... and plastic stocked guns with 10-shot capacity and spray paint finishes. Perfect for slaughtering game by the cubic yard.
Sorry, but it won't get any better.
