I would suggest reading through all the links and see if Budd mentioned his 'Parker Pigeon Gun'. If so, and there is no record of his ordering another, it's likely the gun that he took to England.
I am of the opinion (and others will differ) that a cosmetic restoration will add little value, and if done incorrectly will negatively impact value. But pride of ownership matters, so do what you want.
It certainly deserves a check, clean, functional repair and refurbish, then return to the traps!

Is your opinion of the negative or little impact to value from a restoration due to the gun's possible history or just in general with all the higher grade Parker's? I have been told it was worth around 5,000.

Restored at a cost of five to ten thousand dollars,the value of the gun may be as high as $8000.
