Question as to originality or restoration.

[Timothy Salgado]

I would like some opinions as to the originality of two of my Parker shotguns. Both are VH 12 gauge guns and I checked their serial numbers in the serialization book and they match the listed configurations. I purchased Gun #1 over a decade ago when I retired from my first career and was collecting examples of American made shotguns. At the time the only thing I knew about Parkers is what I read about them in Michael McIntosh's book Best Guns. I purchased Gun #2 a couple of years ago and I believe it is a restoration of some sort as the case colors are different than # 1 , the extractor looks to be replaced, etc. It could be that both guns are restorations, I don't have enough experience to be sure. I took photos with and without the flash in an effort to show the case colors clearly. Thanks in advance for any opinions as the determination of originality will be directing a future Parker purchase.
