Yes, I understand and I’m still contemplating how far to take this. My first thought was to make it as close to what it looked like when it shipped to its original owner. But, it doesn’t necessarily need to go that far. I am a collector of sorts, but I do use everything I own. As for the Parker I intend to have it checked out thoroughly and if cleared I would load light Black Powder shells for it, but I also plan to have it fitted with some Briley 20gauge tubes, to get even more pleasure out of the old gun. I was really lucky that the original owner must have been close to my stature because the drop and cast is right spec for my fit. But thanks for the input.
