Advice on repair/restoration with badly broken stock
I am a new member and just recently fell in love with my first Parker. In May I inherited my grandfathers gun collection following the death of my grandmother. There are some real beauties in the collection including a Rigby, Perazzi and this Parker.
I am sending away for my research letter and realize it will take some time before I see it. I am posting a few pictures in hopes someone can give me more information on the gun. The stock has a tragic break and I wonder if it could be repaired/replaced or even worth it to do so. It is in major need of clean up and I am considering restoration over selling. I couldn't capture the detailed scroll work with the camera but it is beautiful. I think with a good cleaning it will look amazing.
This is what I know so far; serial number dates gun for 1899, CH grade 4, 12 gauge, titanic steal,. 2 3/4" 3 1/4 tons per , sleeved
I am a novice and any help is greatly appreciated.
