A Parker .410 restored by a gunsmith whose work looks "beautiful", but no one has heard of him, would be worth thousands less than one restored by someone like Turnbull Restorations. Please let us look at the gun before you make any decision about a full restoration. A .410 Parker in unrestored 60% condition still has value above twelve thousand dollars, maybe well above. 80% of mint for a restored .410 is pushing the limit. A mint VH .410 is close to a $30,000 gun in today's market and no restored VH would be anywhere close.
