The difference is that Charles Parker was giving them away and Tony has no middle men and gets mostly retail.

Would you mind explaining, “Charles Parker was giving them away”. I don’t understand that comment.

Having studied thousands of Parker orders, it is obvious to me that dealers in Parker guns made multiples in profits compared to the makers. Discounts on Parker guns were piled one on top of another so the makers only got a small share of the final selling price. Charles made his fortune on his many ventures other than shotguns.

That is a wonderfully configured and adorned gun. Smart move to order and buy it.
