The biggest part of the fallacy regarding restored guns is that it often compares something that exists (a restored gun in 100% condition) to something that doesn't exist (an original gun in 100% condition).

There are probably more misleading 'truths' in the Parker community than any other. For example, 'condition means everything to a collector' is a big lie. Another one is 'never say never when it comes to Parkers'. Another one is 'ejector guns are worth XX% more than non ejector guns.'
