And an observation; most restorations are lacking in that they don't look like Parker originals. Those that do, I think are outstanding, my opinon only.

But the problem in this, in my opinion, is that when it is discovered that a Parker, previously thought to be original and purchased as such, is actually a redone (refinished - refurbished - rebuilt - remanufactured - whatever term suits the gun) the value often drops considerably and what was formerly a good investment . . . is no longer.
