Hi Unregistered,

On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...

So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.

Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...

I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

John D.

This thread has thrown me into a quandary. I have several Damascus barreled guns and they are truly wonderful works of art. I have a CHE Damascus 20 that is still all original save for the replacement of the aged Silvers pad which was literally crumbling before my eyes. This is one of only 8 CHE 20's with 26 inch Damascus barrels but the barrels have taken on a lackluster silver finish as the pattern has all but faded away. I think they would really pop if refinished but she's only original once as they say. So what's the consensus refinish them and enjoy the beauty or leave them as is?
