So When is "Original" no longer Original?

[Setter Man]

The Parker crowd is a very tough crowd. It was/is common practice for Brits to sent their fine doubles back to the factory or to a smith to be serviced and freshened up as needed. Unless the barrels have been cut, chambers/cones lengthened, or the stock altered buyers are primarily concerned that the gun has been properly maintained and serviced than the condition being “original.”
