refinishing damascus barrels
I have a lifter from 1874 serial #3600. I was wondering what I could expect to pay to have the barrels refinished? I realize that there are other factors, such as ,pitting, dents etc. Just trying to come up with a budget for this restoration.
any info would be greatly appreciated. |
PM Breck Gorman for an estimate.

What dollar quality (grade) is your Parker?
. |
Around $500
But it is best to contact those who do the work and ask. |
I believe it's a grade 1 Dean. It is identical to 4071, except for I have damascus barrels.
The barrel lug has a T B on it , and nothing about barrel weight. On the frame flat there is an F9R. that's it for markings as far as I can see. Thank you all for the help. |
The F9R stamp is very common on the older Lifters with the right angle (no radius) between the standing breech and the water tables. Unfortunately that is another of the stamps which we don’t know the meaning of.

refinishing Damascus barrels
I have had several Damascus barrels refinished within the past several years and I agree with Dudley, about $500 will be a close approximation the cost assuming there is nothing really wrong with the barrels, 1. e. severe dents, serious pitting, etc.

My Parker was blued years ago which was a good idea inorder to preserve it but it was bad idea for collecting and preserving its value. Who would you recommend to restore it back to original condition or leave it in the condition it's in?
