Dee, I somewhat restore alot of these old guns not to make them pretty, but more to make them usable. My preference is to use a gun that looks it's age, but well taken care of. I can't afford the pretty stuff myself, but they sure look nice when they get that face lift and new wood! I'm more of a purist, i like a gun that shows wear and tells many stories from the past. I think your gramps Parker will do the same if you listen hard enough. Honestly I can't see sinking alot of money into a gun if you're not going to use and enjoy it. Enjoy the ride and live vicariously through your grandfather's life and his days with the old Parker.
