I had a chance to pick up a Parker muzzle loader SxS shotgun and messed up and let it get away from me. I found the man that bought it and he has offered it to me at a price many many times over the original sellers price was. The Parker appears to be around a 28ga, barrels at the muzzle are paper thin and has a few places that have holes, nipples are to say the least very rough. Hammers are functional but lots of slop. From what I and the man that now owns the gun can gather it is around 150 - 160 yrs old. At present stage doubt that it would be safe to fire but would look awesome hanging over the fireplace. I know that you DON'T start restoring guns because it can kill the value, but if the barrel was cut by 1/2 to 1 inch would that do a lot on value or just leave it alone and hang it up.
