I have three total restorations which didn't hurt the guns much. They are all VH grade guns. One 32" VH 12 came restored from gunbroker at a good price and was a wonderful job. One, a well worn VH 12 with no redeeming qualities, was done by at least a dozen workmen over a period of more than 30 years and is a story to tell. Doug Turnbull was the last stop and the gun came out great. It came from a wonderful couple who started me in collecting Parker paper, and the gun's faults were not marks of character. The third was not a gun that should have been restored, but it was, and I love it anyhow.
