Do you think Turnbull could find parts and do it, or would they be cost prohibitive?
Thanks,
Vance

You might do better to find an orphaned ejector forend. Regardless of frame size, the ejector parts are all the same size.

A 10 Gauge PHE is a rare and possibly valuable Parker. Does it have Twist Steel barrels or Parker Steel barrels?

I could supply most if not all of the parts for the forend, but you would not get away for less than $500 for everything. I can tell you that right off the bat. But that is just me. That is a lot of high dollar parts.

Parker 216945 10 gauge was made in 1926, #3 frame and has Parker Steel barrels. The gun is pretty clean and tight. The wood has no cracks or dings, beautiful contrasting dark patterns, but was cover by several layers of old varnish. I am in the process of stripping and refinishing it with a "French Polish". The blued barrels are about 98% with 2 small dings (or pits), not noticeable without looking closely for them, and the bores shiney. The breech is silver colored (little to no case colors left) showing a little wear at the light engraving around the edges and screws. The DH butt plate is clean but shows a little wear at the top. The person that sold it to me was a coon hunter in New Jersey and frequently used it. I have about $1500 in it to date and wouldn't mind spending some money to get it proper, assuming I don't get upside down in value. Thank you very much for your help thus far!

Vance at $1500 in it so far you are waaaaay ahead of the game with that rare Parker.

But proceed very slowly and get solid advice on how you plan to ‘pretty up’ your PHE.

Thank you! I also think I will be alright on value, based on what I've seen!
I will proceed slowly and listen very closely to you. Past experience has taught me that sometimes when you think your improving the value of an item, you are actually hurting it.

There are many others here who can give better advice than me on how to proceed. I simply urge caution.
