Incidentally, the owner asked me to solicit the opinions of collectors who are "in the know" of maintaining the value of an unusual Parker as to their thoughts regarding a restoration. Would doing so increase the value, decrease the value or not affect the value either way.
We all know what a full restoration can cost by DTR or Brad Bachelder and this should be considered in the cost of the gun vs. the restored value. Maybe it should be left alone?
