The butt is not original. The forend is.
That stock would not be worth the effort or expense of having it refinished. If you want to do it yourself for the same of playing around, then fine. But dont throw good money at it. Just my opinion.

Thank you for your assessments. That has been my evaluation of this shotgun since I purchased it; it has been used a lot, it is still perfectly serviceable, and I like carrying it. It will be a fun project to pretty it up a bit.

I have a very early DH that has a similar story in the letter - shipped - a few years later sent back for repairs - 25 years passed and again sent by another owner - this time to open chokes and restock - eventually it ends up in my hands - the stock it wears now is not Parker work - but it fits me - has dropped many birds -so it stays with it history intact
