I just sold a D grade two frame 30" Damascus barrel with good pattern and bores perfect, some case color original stock finish with SSBP and I advertised it here on the board and finally got $1700 for it. I would do as Brain says clean and lube and new pad as you will never get your money out of a restoration of the gun.

Does the gun have a safety? Did you request a PGCA letter, which could add to its value?

Bill: The gun has a safety (old-style). I will attach a photo.
I am suggesting that the owner at least get a Research Letter to enhance his appreciation of the gun and consider joining the PGCA for the manifold benefits and advantages that accrue to taking that step. He had gone to more modern and steel shot-suitable guns for hunting over the years, but learned on the Parker, and shot it with considerable success at the range. One of those “ranges” included The [Brookline] Country Club, the oldest such club in the U. S. (Tom Brady and family were recently admitted, apparently after much deliberation, he being so “high-profile” for such a privacy-minded club.) Given the responses from Members on this thread, I hope he decides on restoration to maintain the gun's functionality as outlined above, and keeping it.

From the little glimpse that we get of the buttstock, I think some really nice figure is going to be revealed with a proper restoration.
I say, if mony's not an issue, go for it. |

I think Mr. Dudley could turn it into a bit of a stunner in pretty short order. Very nice wood, nice engraving. Get rid of the pin, put a new pad on and restore the wood. She'd be a real beauty. I have one very similar to that one except with Damascus bbls and an elk on the bottom. It's very light for a 2-frame and swings like a dream and is an ideal late-season wild-flushing pheasant gun.
