Inherited Parker
Just inherited a Parker that belonged to my father in law, I collect firearms but not antique so I'm new to all this. Interested in potentially having it professionally restored but not for use, I'd like to hand it down to my step son at a later date since it belonged to his grandfather. It's rough, honestly not sure if restoration would damage it further,and by restoration I'm just referring to cleaning the barrels to show the damascus steel pattern and possibly the stock if I can find someone competent in my area. It's a Grade 2 (code G) damascus steel double barrel, serial 62930 which is returning a manufacture date of 1890. Hopefully the photos attach correctly. Anyway, just an intro, already found a ton of info here and am very appreciative of that. Hope everyone is having a great night!..........-Joe
