Nancy, your gun is heavily refinished in a non original way. The Damascus barrels are blued, which is not correct. The other metal parts have been colored by an unknown method resulting in a non original finish. You must give us barrel length and pictures of the rib at the muzzle so we can determine whether the barrels have been shortened or not. Your gun is not of interest to a Parker collector, unfortunately. The insert tubes are worth about $75. Let us know if you have had success in removing the tubes. Any attempt to bring your gun into a more original condition will just result in more expense and will still not be original. Don't invest more money.
