Rebarreled Parkers

[B. Dudley]

Edgar,

I will admit that this whole mess was a perfect example of my jumping to conclusions which I can do at times.

I will amend my comments simply to...

The fact that the bluing of the whole gun, restocking of the gun and replacement of the original barrels will have a significant impact on the value of the gun vs if it was original and unaltered.

Undoubtedly.
This is similar in nature to the recent thread about the gun altered by Col. Askins.
I have a 20ga. DHE that belonged to Otis Odom, and was altered by him. The butt stock was originally a PG stock, which he altered to straight. He straightened out the trigger guard, and did a beautiful job of inletting and checkering around the trigger guard tang. I think it's done to the highest quality of the many I have seen similarly modified, but recognize it's value is diminished greatly (fortunately, the guy who sold it to me felt the same way)
