Refinished vs Original is mainly a Collector issue. I would say you are correct that Parker’s will still bring a good price if refinished properly. I haven’t done the research but I believe there are more shooters of these great guns than there are strict collectors. Also, casual collectors (like me) buy them for various reasons regardless of their originality status. This is what makes them special and sets them apart from other shotgun makers. There is something for everyone. My question is why are posting at 3:30 in the morning? Lol

...and to the highlighted text I would add, "And that is extremely hard to execute or find."
