Not any of my business either but why do you want to restore your DHE?

Jay, it's really a fair question. Many new Parker owners don't understand that a $7500 DHE 20 can be made into a $4000 gun by what most people would think is a perfectly acceptable refinish. It is extremely unlikely that the renewal of case color on a DHE 20 gauge would result in anything but a lower value for the gun, no matter who does the job.

Bill, correct me if I am making an overstatement but "restoring" a Parker that was in decent condition to begin with is probably going to de-value the run regardless of who does the work or how well it is done.
