I own Three:
16ga "0" Frame SG 20ga "0" Frame SG 20ga "0" Fram PG These are my hunting guns and are shot all season at Quail, Chukar, Sharptail, and Pheasants. They go back in February for a good cleaning and tuneup. I have more "vintage" guns but these are my baby's...I couldn't ask for more. Larry always has the time to chat, does good work and is true to his word. A true piece of americana! D |

Of course he does very nice work yadda yadda yadda .
But to be perfectly honest I'd rather have a gun that's say 30% in honest used but not abused shape over one that's been restored/reconditioned . I had a friend tell me once about some folks that reconverted flintlocks , he said anytime you did that you were destroying history and I suppose to a Civil War collector that's 100% true . And I kinda view Parker's , Fox's , Smith's and a good many other old quality guns the same way . But that's my opinion and like a particular body part everyone has ONE ! |

Had a BHE 12ga that was really a beautiful piece. All work was top notch.
Currently have a VH 410 that is an early DG restoration. It has the cyanide case colors that are incorrect for the period of the gun. The mostly unengraved receiver really shows the vivid tiger stripe case coloring and is not as pleasing to me as the original Parker bone charcoal colors. Also on this receiver the DG polishing line at the bolsters is distinctly obvious when held at certain angles. I have no idea what this gun looked like before it was restored but I think I might have liked it better left alone. I personally prefer honest original guns to restorations but not to the point of exclusion. |
