Why Reproduce

OK you dirty old men now that I have your attention I will ask the question.

I see several reproduction Parker shotguns for sale and was wondering why anyone would want one of them. I am not a shotgun buff but know Parkers are the top of the line along with the Elsies and Fox shotguns made in the US.

Just wondering.

Thanks

    Same reason people buy Excaliber, PT Cruiser or New Beetle automobiles. Radios that look like cathedral RCA's or Ovaltine. Reminds them of yesteryear. The look of antique without the associated hassles. Then again, I could just be fulla S**t.

    Because there are many folks like me, too cheap to buy the original.
    Politicians are like diapers, every so often you need to change them, for obvious reasons.

    I think P3 has it... Why still make black powder guns?

    In a word: Nostalgia
