Lowell,
While I agree with you that the high condition untouched Parkers like all other collectors sxs's will always be the most sought after and valued of the lot I don't agree that the less valued Parkers like one that may be all original but let's say with a well done wood re-finish are " just another Gun".
My point to Dave was more the fact that a new Uggie,Merkel or most other nice quality new SXS's in his price range will likely not lose value but will not appreciate much over the years like a good quality Parker,Elsie etc and to say otherwise contradicts the entire used American SXS market.
Respectfully,
Brad
