Eightbore has iron in his words of superposed life and death. I choose RKLT , 28, original curved butt plate, y top tang, field chokes and solid rib for 3k plus configuration ( Not sure about mint condition, but Tolex case has to be a plus)
Best regards,

I mentioned earlier the RKLT guns are the most coveted (who knows why when the FKLT are likely better guns). But, that does not mean other guns arent collected. Are you and Eightbore telling me a gun such as a FKLT 70s Pointer grade 20 isnt a collectible? Give me a break.

I am referencing the value discussion on grade 1 guns. Higher grade guns are addressed at different price points than the $1500/$ 3000 values that I inferred were being discussed.
Anything can be collectible, but actual transference in a marketplace would be dependent upon the degree of perceived desirability, or a broad consensus of traits than determine a scale of value.
The Parker aficionados have ascribed highest value to mint original condition.
Other groups place higher value on a guns association with well known historical personas .......Teddy Roosevelts or Nash Buckinghams Foxes.......each to their own.
Best regards,

I have consigned 20 gauge Superposed guns with minor warts to auction houses. The minor warts, square knobs, short tangs, recoil pads, 26 1/2" barrels, short stocks, less than excellent condition, etc. Invariably, a single wart results in a net received price of less than $2000. At the same auction house, a gun with none of those warts can result in a selling price in excess of $4000. A steel trigger, solid rib, field choked gun in high condition can sell for twice that.
