Actually there are very few Parkers that are all original condition, 100 plus or minus years takes there toll, less on some more on others. Most required some repair work, some have letters stating the work was done at the factory, most do not. A totally original gun of any grade will cost the collector big bucks! A rare gauge, configuration, or grade is a find no matter the condition, I consider these finds lucky, like an old car waiting to be restored to its original glory. My thinking here is that if the gun has all its original parts, and is fairly rare I will restore it! I do not shoot a lot of my guns, on the other hand a lot of folks on this forum do! Bottom line if you like the gun and it fits you you should own it if you can! Gary
