Bruce,

I am just wondering, how is it that a refinished Purdey's value is not effected, but a Parker or any American double is? Is it that the British opinion so differs from us.

Dean,

I'm so glad to read that you have great grandmother Jessie's Parker! I remember her talking about it when I was just a small lad. Seems that she set the gun, along with the case, on the bumper of her car, got distracted and drove off leaving the gun behind. Realizing what she did, she and Henry returned a short time later and the gun was gone!!!

Since I'm the only surviving descendant of my dear departed great grandparents, the gun is rightfully mine. Sooo, in order to dampen your disappointment on returning the gun to me, I'll gladly pay you for your trouble and send you a check in the amount Henry paid originally for the gun. Should cover the cost of shipping

Bruce,

That's the Attorney's answer, I am looking for your opinion. I have also seen part of you meager collection, although it does not rival the Parkers I have managed to put together on my fixed income, you could at least explain this phenomena.
