To put it bluntly, there is no comparison. My opinion, and likely not in the majority. I'm just not willing to value reproductions close to originals. I had a new '69 Camaro SS. My grandson has a 2010 Camaro SS. While his is a great car, and I like and appreciate it, it can't have the value of an original '69.

David Trevallion, one of the most experienced and respected gun gurus in all the world and one that has been inside and out of some of the greatest guns the world has ever seen wrote "Parker Reproduction guns were in every respect equal - if not superior - to the originals."

Should we doubt his opinion?
