Very nice, and Damascus, to boot! Enjoy it, she's a beauty.

Mervyn,
I was in agreement with all others, in regards to the restoration until I saw the photos of the finished gun. Very nice! I'm in a similar situation. I have a 20 ga.
DH that I will eventually have to decide, restore or not restore. Your gun is persuasive.

Kind regards,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Part of my reasoning was that I wanted the engraving, damascus pattern and wood grain to stand out as all of these finishes were lost to the eye due to someone using an abrasive cleaner that scuffed the metal surfaces and wood finish.

I also have an early Parker Trojan 20 gauge that Duncan's and Turnbull restored. I will post pictures after Christmas.

I did not see this one prior to it being restored so I did not have to make the decision.

I'm sure if you post some pictures you will get lots of comments and suggestions.

Good luck and thank you for you positive comments.

Merv
