If you have it "restored" you must do it right or you will destroy value. You must have the right person or people do the job correctly. Above all else, Do No Harm to it. The wrong choice can ruin its value. A Grades are rare enough without eliminating one more of them from the pool of nice ones. If it were me I would think long and hard about it... and I probably wouldn't do anything to it besides a good cleaning and possibly putting it back on-face if it is off-face.

And it will be expensive to do it right.

Edward,

Get you and your AH to Hausmann's Hidden Hollow the first weekend in June. There will be plenty of Parker collectors and Parker gunsmiths there to evaluate your AH.

Decide what to do after you know what you have...

A restoration will cost much and take a long time!

Mark
