Gary. I'm kinda new and have never even seen a lifter in person. Not trying to be cute but what can a restoration man do to improve this absolutely gorgeous Parker? I've seen some photos of your like new in the box Parkers but this one is just as lovely to me. Thanks for taking the time to share them with us. Bob

Bob, Its kind a like a classic car, that is dirty, I prefer to wash it so people can see what it really looks like, Course natural patina is nice too! I feel as long as the gun has all its original parts, from Parker, and is a high grade it is a candidate for restoration, just my two cents, Gary

Gary: Thanks for the response. Look forward to seeing the after photos. Bob
