IMHO I believe the work to be that of Turnbull. You can send him the serial number and they will tell you if they worked on it or not. I bought a GHE 16 in original condition with about 50% CC at the Southern for just north of 5K. PG, SPF and Dogs head butt, 26 inch Damascuss bbls. This gun is very nice and original.
You want us to put a price on this for you which in all fairness to both you and the members of this forum is impossible. Why? because we don't have the gun in hand to examine. IF you would tell us what the asking price is we can at least make an informed guess if its accurate. I would subtract from the value (for barter points) the spacer in the stock but as soon as I acquired the gun it would be off to Harry Lawson to have a wood spacer painted to match the stock grain.
At the end of the day the decision to purchase is yours and yours alone. As a friend would say "you can't pay to much for a nice Parker, you might however pay to early".
