Upgraded Parkers, Lesson 1

[C.O.B.]

Mark the gun you showed is engraved by Angelo Bee weather this adds any value or not is debatable.

I have a couple of upgrade/custom Parkers the first and formost is Gunner's Parker a custom gun I did for me and me alone. If I needed to sell this tomorrow (oh the horror!) would I get my money out of it...probably not. The Hollywood gun is't factory either but it follows Parker lines as does the recent AAHE 28.

IMHO IF your going to buy/build a non factory Parker or any other gun for that matter the first person it must satisfy is the one shelling out the cash, resale is not something to be considered. I believe I can get my money back and maybe some more from either the Hollywood gun or the AAHE 28. Gunner's PArker is special to me and me alone and I'm fine with that.

Don't let the beauty of an upgraded gun cloud you sense of value. Each gun should be based on the merits of the base gun then consider the nice engraveing and pretty wood.
