Do you recommend a good gunsmith who is familiar in this gun maker?

Mr. Kekatos:
Please do NOT "restore" this gun. It's wonderful as-is.
If it is now a 20-bore, enjoy it as a 20.
Your location can generally help locate a good double gunsmith.
However, you can't go wrong by sending it down to Kirk Merrington in Kerrville TX. He's a master Brit 'smith and barrel maker. And can accurately assess your gun. His website is merringtongun.com.
PS: your gun was proofed as a 13 bore... a "tight" 12.
