Dean, I brought Turnbull up as an example of the few who can very competently restore Parkers to new condition. We all have our different perspectives and mine is to restore, when necessary, using a light touch so that the gun doesn't look new but instead reflects the age of the piece. Others like their guns to look like new and invest many dollars with restorers to get them to look that way. Either perspective is valid, it depends on what an individual wants.


However, I don't like to see guns with much original finish gratuitously restored. But that's just my opinion.
