John, the criteria for monetary appreciation, if that is the standard for collectibility, have been gauge, condition and grade. Of that, gauge, gauge, gauge, for right or wrong, has been most significant.
There are groups of collectors who like lifter actions, top action hammerless, hammerless from 1889 to 1900, post 1900 hammer guns, 1900 to 1910, 1910-1918, about every era you can consider. Most of mine are 1904 to 1910. But I have the last record book C from 1939.
Just look at each gun individually without preconceived notions.
As for your question about post '34 guns not being considered Parkers, if I am a "cognoscenti", I could not disagree more. You might look at the very favorable comments made about Remington made Parkers in TPS.
