Question re restoration and value

[BRDHNTR]

If a 60 yr old woman wants a nip and tuck and desires to feel better about herself and the way she presents herself to the world and in consult with her physician, that's her decision and who are we to judge..

To restore a gun that has not been abused is in my opinion neither right nor wrong depending on the circumstances and reasoning for the restoration. And whether it increases the value of the gun or not is a consequence the owner bears responsibility for. I would hope that after we are long gone that shooting sports in this country (and elsewhere) continue to thrive and that Parker double guns remain in the hands of future generations whether restored or not, and valued as one of America's classic shotguns.
