You know what I think would be the cat's ass? A little "clinic" put on by someone like Dean or Brian at one of the shoots that teaches people new to Parkers (and other SxS) what exactly is original or what is not, how to spot a refinish...etc. I remember the Parker dinner at Traditions last year Dean picked up a gun and said, "That has my vote it's all original high condition." I looked at it and it looked like most of the others for condition. I asked how you knew Dean, you said, "Look at a lot of guns..." I keep looking, still feel dumb as ever trying to figure out of the finish has been touched up or tubes blued again. The only thing I seem to be able to spot is a DelGrego case color or obvious mistakes. It seems the learning curve is steep (at least for me)
