Restoring Henry F. Tenney's Wife's VHE

[BRDHNTR]

Hello Edgar, just a short note as I don't want this thread to become something like a few other threads where we beat a dead horse to death.

Everything that was done to bring this gun back was discussed in every detail with Brad. We agreed to only those steps that would be consistent with those that one might wish to do in the 1920/30's by sending it back to the Parker Bros and/or Remington shop for 'reconditioning'. I'm very happy with the results, have no regrets and will bequeath this VHE to Logan, my oldest grandson who's eyes grow wide every time I pull it out of the gun safe, show it to him and remind him that it will be his one day. The only thing I regret is not engraving my initial 'N' on the shield. But I'll have Dan Cullity do that locally. I do appreciate and respect the views from the 'collectors' and other perspectives.

Umm, how do you beat a dead horse to death?

My only thought is that if I were looking at a rack of Parkers, and your old gun was standing next to your new gun, priced the same, It would be the old one I'd pick up.

We beat a dead horse to death by flogging and generally the flogger doesn't realize the horse is already dead.
