Tom, Thanks for biting.... I am absolutely not pushing the Parker agenda... just had agreed with the thought that truly unique guns are rare. Rare in any case but seemingly more often found in other makers. You make a good point... "what features am I talking about ?" I am just thinking anything outside basic stock dimensions, trigger, ejectors, and 26,28,30,32 in barrel length. Mainly unique engraving, (of which Lefever and Ithaca seem to have more variations and one off's) checkered butts, horn embellishments, heel/toe plates, gold extras (initials or dedications). All these things I know exist, but don't show up too often. Otherwise just full packages that just aren't "normal" All in all I am not pushing that I am right but I would love to see some examples and that is more my point!!! Cause hey even a regular old field grade in the right condition or configuration can be very exciting.
