There are only a very small number of gunsmiths in the US one would entrust an AAH Parker to for a restoration, a very small number. Don't worry about where they are. BTW, last year a very worn AAH was sold by a major dealer to a another dealer. The price listed on the gun was $10K. It was for sale for but a few days. I believe it brought that. While it did not have cut barrels, it did have a lot wrong with it. I suspect your gun would bring a similar amount, as is. If you do not have the resources to properly "restore" the gun just keep it clean and lightly oiled and stored in a dry spot (especially in a FL summer). Were it my gun, it would have a set of 30 inch "replacement" barrels on it within the week. Best of luck with it.
