That is precisely why the word “collector” was invented... because there are so many nice Parkers.

What got me interested in Parkers is all the combinations or configurations they made . I think Parker bros are probably had the most variety of any sxs shotguns . I think my favorite Parkers are the lifter models because as far as im aware that is something unique to Parker shotguns . Im a huge 10 ga fan and in my opinion Parker made the coolest ones . All the different weights and barrel lengths . It seems like if you was alive 100 years ago Parker could make you a gun in any configuration you could think of .

I wish I had been as tuned-in and turned-on to what Parker guns were all about, as Milton is, at age 26.

What he is saying here is consistent with what some Members with a few more years behind them and considerable experience have said, one example being, "....Parker made [guns] in all sorts of dizzying array's ,and subtle nuances that keep collectors guessing. (Chris Dawe, PGCA Forum).
