Ray, There are Parker collectors who regularly restore their guns. This can add to the value of a gun. If one would restore a gun there are a couple of things to think about. Why would restoration be a benefit and who can do the job properly? Additionally, the restored gun should be able to pay you back if sold, not all guns can do this. But some people just want the gun brought back in appearance and aren't concerned with cost. It is expensive and it takes a good deal of time during which you will be without the gun. Should you decide to go forward you need to get the names of restorers as near to you as possible who can bring a Parker back in appearance and function.
