Christopher, the cost of restoration is a function of many variables and you may find that the cost may well exceed the value of the gun, particularly one that is not a true family heirloom. Re-stocking would be one of the larger costs associated with any restoration. Not to mention re case coloring, re blueing, dent repairs, honing, etc. etc. If you are serious about restoring this apparent V grade Parker, you should consider packing it up and sending it to a competent gunsmith for their evaluation and cost estimate. A review of many posts on this subject will provide you with the names of many of these gunsmiths who would be willing to assist you. At the end of the day, think through why you want to do this and know that this is not an inexpensive journey. All the best.
