Default Need some opinions

I’m looking to get some opinions on the value of a Parker GHE and would you keep it the way it is , or have it restored by someone good

I'll let someone else weigh in on value. But as to condition, I would leave it just as it is. Looks like a nice gun.

Why touch it? I'd leave as is. Looks to be in nice condition.

Do not restore that gun! No reason for that.

you didn't say anything was wrong with it

looks like an honest nice shooter-

and I doubt you would ever recover the cost of a restoration

I agree with the rest of the responses - leave it as is, shoot it and have fun

What wonderful deep engraving on the side panels! Plus, Special Steel barrels! And all the screws are untouched! Restoration is like surgery--dont cut unless you have to. Things can go wrong in the quench or anywhere else. Just a gentle cleaning and enjoy a fine GH. JMHO

There are plenty of Parkers that would be more desirable with a full restoration your GHE isn't one of those. As is $3500 or restored $3500-$4000;your choice.
