If it was restored properly, figure on about $2500, in round numbers.

It looks to be quite well and tastefully done. I'd say it's worth every bit of $2500. But priceless as your father's gun!

Opinion only worth what it cost.
I had been looking at a Original VH 20 28 inch barrels, nice gun not perfect. Listed at 4000 for some time then dropped to 3200 which I though was close to it's value. I made a 2500 offer, all the cash I had in my pocket at the time. Offer rejected, it sold soon after so you can figure it went between 2500 and 3200. Guess would be 3000 and worth the money. Most would say 28 inches brings more than 26 and restored brings less than original. Exception if the restoration work was well done by a known Parker man. I would get a Parker Letter and all the receipts from the gunsmith that did the work. More bad restorations than good ones in my view. It's a nice looking package case and all. Keep it and shoot it William |

Doug Turnbull at New England Custom Gun Ltd. did the work which I was told may add some value? Thanks for the honest opinions guys.

Turnbull would make the gun attractive to many buyers.

To my knowledge, these are two separate shops. While NECG may add some reassurance to the resto, I'm not so sure the alternative may. You might try to discover the actual shop involved.
