I have an 0 frame hammered Parker that I was told LeFever had redone. The original 16 gauge barrels had been monoblocked to 20 gauge and "TWIST" had been replaced with "STEEL" on the rib and it is very well done as was the case colors.
A friend has his great grandfathers (1897 off the top of my head) AAH live bird gun that had had five sets of barrels. It was pulled from the ashes of a house fire with a set of Titanic barrels on it. None of the other barrels were recovered. DelGrego restored the gun in the late 1970's and replaced Titanic with Peerless. Again it was a good job, but detectable.
