Old parker DH damscus- whats it worth

[jsd245]

The DH WOOD is also not original - it's a restock that was probably a nice peice of wood, but really poorly done and maybe not salvageable. Original Skelton butt plate is there and I did get the original one which is a wreck.

The GH is a 12 and a damascus. Can still we the pattern fairly well but they have that brownish patina.

I don't know that I want to make the DH a parts gun. The thing is beautiful. I. see why a couple of you have said maybe an amateur restoration may not be the best thing to do. I may be going down a very dangerous path here- one where I'll
Spend lots of money.

I'll post some pictures when I get a chance, but I have a terrible time getting good detailed gun pictures for some reason.

not a pro there, but check your camera for a micro focus setting (on both of mine the icon for the setting is a flower) and use good natural light if you can. a flash tends to wash out the details
