You probably did, but the wood to metal fit looks exceptional for a gun that age and that is a really good sign. A tight breech when closed and clean bores would be some other good features.

Chuck, your job is secure!!
It should be mentioned that the "Grade" numbers, 0 to 9, were factory internal use and never appeared in catalogs or advertising. Generally the Brothers P didn't stamp the number 0 or 1 on the guns. We see 2 and higher stamped on the watertable of the guns -- 87561 01 12-gauge, 30-inch.jpg and 3 and higher on both the watertable and the barrel flats -- 102957 01 DH-Grade, 12-gauge, 30-inch.jpg 102957 02.jpg 141986 16.jpg 141986 08.jpg |

So how does this equate into finding a value for this gun. I am trying to decide if it’s worth restoring or just keep as is and be happy I have a Parker. |

Bottom line, you aren't going to increase its value through restoration.

I lost count of my 10's a year or so ago and it has gotten worse since then.
