I never understood the notion that a reproduction of something (Browning model 12, Parker reproduction) would eventually be collectible in and of itself. It seems to me that anything marketed as collectable , really isnt. I cant wrap my head around the idea that ANYTHING built in the Far East, at least since the Ming dynasty, is collectable.
That said, people collect strange things.
If someone here bought the gun, do use it in good health. Hard to believe those Parker reproduction have been around long enough to be re-case colored.
Best.
