Dee: I hope you get this gun restored and would willing to contribute to that end. I don't know that much about why's and why not to restore a gun but have restored my share of auto's and was just trilled to death when done so could show them off and drive them. I have a parker that was restored by the Delgrego's and love it to death. Take it to the recommended restorers and get a price and lets get this show on the road. You can count me in for one Ben Franklin. Thomas L. Benson Sr.

I really appreciate the offers to help from you and everyone else. I, like you, do not know about the why/why not to restore reasons either. When I originally posted here, I had not a clue of what I was holding in my hand, now that I do know what I have, I don't know what to do with it.....so right now I'm at the point of LOL! I am genuinely grateful to each and everyone here and their willingness to help a complete stranger.

-- All the response to your posts and your genuine interest in learning about this fine older 16 CHE Parker that belonged to your late Grandfather-- I find myself in agreement with Bill M. here- i would leave it as is, have a good Parker gunsmith check it over before you shoot it with light loads (RST or other premium shells made for older guns)- and all the responses your initial thread have generated here are again proof of the spirit of PGCA and our rapid growth in new memberships each year. Enjoy, and I hope you can attend the TX clays event later on.

I wanted to share with everyone another shotgun that was with my great grandfather's other guns. I am going to have the gentleman that took this picture take some of my old parker, as is, and will post them when they are done. They will be a better quality picture than what I had taken previously and I can assure you they will show it's true beauty and character.
