DH restoration question?

[Ben Evans]

Thank you for all of your help gentlemen, I really appreciate it. I know to do everything will be expensive for sure. I might need to do it in stages. The serial numbers between the receiver and the forestock do not match and its in bad shape. Mechanically everything's seems to be in order, tight on face and the barrels ring true. I'm mostly looking for a nice gun for me that I can hunt with once in a while and still be a show piece in my collection. All of my other vintage side by sides are basic field models from Fox, Ithaca and Lefever. I thought a DH grade Parker was a higher grade gun and that's when I'm interested in restoring it.

Gee Ben, I was on your team until this little known fact came out. Start over by replacing that parts gun with one with good bones and then go for it. At least then you'll have something you can sell for 25% of what you spent instead of 5% of what you spent.
