There certainly is a big premium for high original condition Parker Bros. guns. To my eyes a lot of dealers are trying to cash in on this by advertising as "all original" guns that have been redone.

I would argue that a gun with two barrels, especially when it is choked differently, has greater utility than a single barreled gun like the Mossberg. All have their place, but few have a place like a Parker.

Begets one of my all-time favorite auction catalog descriptions, "original as redone"...or most recent, "probably professionally if not factory redone"....
