Why NOT the taboo against refinishing Parker shotguns?
At least not to the extent of other vintage firearms? A refinished Colt, Smith & Wesson, Winchester, Ithaca, etc if refinished, or even a replaced part or refinished component, really lessens the value. It doesn’t seem to be the case with Parker shotguns, or at least not to the extent of other firearms.
Why is this so? Perhaps Del Grego’s work legitimized it to some extent?
Of course, British shotguns are regularly refinished and refurbished, and still maintain high value. As do Parker shotguns.
