You have to be a member of the PGCA to refinish a Parker. That one is a good candidate since it already has damage. It might look best leaving the metalwork as is and refreshing the stock finish to match the metal patina. That’s what the masters do.

I agree with Brian. It doesn't look so bad at all, and probably better than most.
I also think Mike is on to something. If it isn't already, membership should be a prerequisite for refinishing, together with repercussions if not done well.
