We are down right open minded about restorations

[Craig Larter]

My philosophy is do what is never necessary to make it look unrestored and untouched. If the titanic barrels have multiple deep scratches from a fall by all means reblue them. If screws are buggered by all means get them repaired. If the checkering is mostly gone have it lightly recut. These are old guns and shouldn't look new, if you want the new look buy a RBL and bypass Parkers, Foxes or any of the vintage guns.
I understand that strong CC sells guns but an untouched Parker well cared for with little CC is a treasure in my opinion, however rare.
Many have asked me why don't you get the initials taken care of on my #6 frame D hammer gun. My feeling is it's part of the guns history and that is important to me. Martin E Wampler stamped his initials in the stock and as long as I'm the caretaker they will remain.
