New Parker guy here so take it easy on me. I purchased this DHE from a friend last year. I would say that the wood is great and about 75% case coloring remains. However, my Parker letter says it was ordered and shipped in 1908 with 32in bbls. They currently measure 28. Couple of questions I have are
-Evidently they have been cut and what does that do to the functionality?
-What does it do to the value?
-Should I seek someone to fit new/old bbls? Is it cost prohibitive?
