Bruce's reply is well stated. Let them be until you can have several knowledgeable Parkerphiles like Bruce see them in person. Some restored guns, as you say, sell for lots of money. The same guns in the same condition if original sell for lots more. You didn't say if your AH's had Damascus or fluid steel barrels. That would make quite a difference when it comes to polishing vs honeing. Serial numbers would help. Advice from those who know would help more.
Best Regards, George
