I'm looking at a DHE manufactured in 1920 that looks pretty good, the case colors maybe to good. They are dark blues, tans and pinks. The colors look much darker and maybe brighter in hand than they do in these photos taken in poor light.The other major downside is the stock has been cut and then a spacer added to get it back to a shootable length of pull. The wood has been refinished for sure. There is a whole in the bottom rib (no pic sorry) a few inches ahead of the foreend lug. Barrels don't look redone but I wonder. The chambers measure right at 2 3/4 with my little metal ruler ;so, I assume the chambers have been lengthened.
I've not seen a really high condition Parker in real life so I'm coming to the experts here for advice. Do they look right or redone? Also, the Miller single trigger I'm assuming was added later. Can it be put back to a double trigger? How big a hit in value should the stock make? Any input will be helpful.
the pics.
this one is overexposed and the colors kind of blown out
A little input needed on case colors
