All foolishness aside, the Czars gun was only second to the most sought after of the Parkers, it was probably #2 after the Invincibles. There was, and still is a mistique surrounding an American gun of finest quality built for one of the richest men in the world. He had his choice of many European guns as well as English guns, and certainly the National Museum has many of those guns that belonged to him. But the order was for the Czar and so it remains one of the "now American" treasures.
This gun was talked about in gun circles as long as I remeber, and I am 70 and started with Parker Shotguns at age 15. It is indeed a treasure, and it is the (ONLY) Czars Parker.
