In the sixties, we used to see all sorts of remarked and partially reribbed Parker barrels to disquise sleeved and blued Damascus Parkers. Some of these mismarked guns would have value except for the markings. One example of a remarked sleeved gun that has not only value but character is my Lefever sleeved DH which was professionally remarked by Lefever, "Parker Brothers Meriden, Conn. Lefever Steel". The marking looks more like a Parker rib marking than the original. I have not seen another like it.
