I have a nice 28ga Damascus gun that is on a 0 frame. I am so embarrassed that it is a 0 frame that I can hardly be seen in public with it.
I'm not so sure a 28 that was rebarrelled by Parker is any less desirable than one that was built that way. I suppose it comes down to, maybe, snob appeal but then whether Parker did the work or not is what we normally use to judge snob appeal so that goes out the window.
If the gun letters with Parker work I'd consider it every bit the real deal, unless the result was something ungainly - like it doesn't balance properly or weighs 7.5lbs because the 16 was a heavy gun to start with.
