Would be a fun but expensive project. Really makes my C grade look good and it has issues

That deep relief engraving on the receiver bottom between the triggerplate and the hinge , and the corresponding rosette on each side plate, are unique to my limited experience. And beautiful. This alone makes the gun worthy of owning. I too would leave the wrapped grip alone and see how the rest of the gun could be cleaned up without "restoring" anything. I see at least one PGCA member in the bidding cue, so good luck out there. I have no plans myself to bid. No dinero.

I am amazed at how nice the top rib is, after all the gun has been through. There may be some flaws in it but I couldn't see them in the provided pics.

That mid-bead was an add-on, correct?

If it was me buying it, I'd shoot it as is, no restock unless it was absolutely necessary. That wire wrapped grip is like using skateboard tape on a race gun grip. "No slip, grip and rip!" I'd add a slip on butt pad for good LOP and get rid of that useless mid-bead, but that's it. That is a very cool gun. Love the engraving and especially the fish-tail top lever.

Default B grade hammer gun

opinions on how much it would cost to restore this rare gun to make it right.looks like the stock is cracked at the wrist and it needs a skeleton butt plate.We do not know the barrel wall thickness or if it had been honed.

Seems like a gamble and its not done yet. The trigger guard from what I see has been poorly welded. So you can figure that too.barrels have pitting on outside. Could use a reblue at the least.

I’ll say one thing that I am certain. This agent has brought out now 4-5 Parkers that have generated a lot of discussion. As a student of all things Parker these are the sort of guns that make us think on multiple levels of what they are now, what they left Meriden as, and what possibilities are yet to be determined. In ways that is the appeal of a high percentage of Parker guns no matter the grade or rarity. I am not surprised at the dollars bid thus far.
