Does the gun have the correct BTFE forend Loop, and the bolt in the front of the forend?
It is important to remember that most any Restored gun will not rank higher than "Very Good" condition in a typical value ranking system. So if you have a values book, use that as a guide. Anyting above that is what someone is willing to pay.
Another very important thing is to determine if the options such as BTFE, ejectors and single trigger were original options on the gun. Any BTFE should be subject to skepticism considering that it is easy enough to make one up on a standard splinter forend iron.
All things on the gun such as the wood, bluing and color case work looks top notch. The Colors are a bit bright for a Parker I think, but it was done correctly and the variation is all in the process and who is doing it.
