He only sent you one picture? We need to see the forend lug, the barrel legend, a clear view of the trigger, the full serial number, and a full view of the wood to determine value. It is a nice looking gun from what we can see.

Gun has Remington repair codes, but I don't think those colors were done at Remington. However, the trigger and forend could possibly be Remington modifications. The ejectors could be original, depending on your PGCA letter and a look at the inside of the forend. If that gun is reasonably priced and works, I would be writing a check by now.

Does the gun have the correct BTFE forend Loop, and the bolt in the front of the forend?
It is important to remember that most any Restored gun will not rank higher than "Very Good" condition in a typical value ranking system. So if you have a values book, use that as a guide. Anyting above that is what someone is willing to pay. Another very important thing is to determine if the options such as BTFE, ejectors and single trigger were original options on the gun. Any BTFE should be subject to skepticism considering that it is easy enough to make one up on a standard splinter forend iron. All things on the gun such as the wood, bluing and color case work looks top notch. The Colors are a bit bright for a Parker I think, but it was done correctly and the variation is all in the process and who is doing it.

That gun looks like an early Turnbull job to me.

I have an A Grade Fox that was advertised as a Turnbull restoration but no records to prove so. It has very similar case colors. They are not "Foxey" but they sure are pretty!

It does not look like Del Greco work but a nice gun either way.
