I agree wholeheartedly.
I once had a CHE Double Trap made in 1929. It was an exceptionally nice gun but it had Remington repair codes, a 'Remingtonesque' splinter forend (almost the same width from one end to the other) recut checkering with the Remington-style borders on the forend as well as the grip, and cyanide case colors (but nicely done, not tiger-striped). All in all it was a very nice Parker and, though redone by Remington well after the Meriden days, I considered it factory work.
Value on this gun?...... I sold it for a PILE more than I paid for it.
