David Noble, I agree I have done alot of research on these guns in the past few months and i have read the process of the restoration on just the barrels and it is a long process I have learned. I have learned also this parker is very rare and unheard of find or even to see it available for purchase. You are not the first one to ask me to slow down and I appreciate it all. I am constantly amazed as I learn more and more. I have met with a renowned gun builder who builds antique custom guns like this one. He said exactly the same thing to me... he said slow down let's make a plan for this rare opportunity so this thread is to keep the story going for the guts and the history of this opportunity for it to be brought back to life. Some have the opinion I just want money for it. If that was the case my first offer was 5 grand and that is alot more than I paid for it so I would have taken it on the spot. I hesitated for a reason. I want to see the history of this myself. If it takes a few months or years that's fine with me. That's why I have not just jumped on offers. I was offered 2 remake parkers with a market value of 17grand. I'm still working with the gunsmith on more data and waiting on the research letter now. I started this journey as you prob know months ago I have surely did my research. And I appreciate all of the help all of the interest and even all of the criticism. This is a great story piece!! Thank you for your input!!
