That is definetly not Ed's. The pins would have been blue from the torch. I would say Turnbull also.

It is a shame that so many people go screw up old guns. Most cases they look pretty good in the first place. A 100 yr old gun should have some character.
What seperates the excellent smiths from the average ones the ability to re-do a gun without making it look re-done.

Ed does junk work, hides the bad parts of each gun he sells...does not show the sad condition of most of his wrecks....not an honest type of guy..!!! He is definitely the "flame".......sells to the newby's mainly, who don't know any better..

Unlike Winnie 21 redo it's kinda hard to "bake" 100 year ole' action in scorching pile of bones and make it look vintage, eh? Even when pro outfit does it one still gets new lookin' gun that's actually 100 years old.

The first picture of the first Parker shows a pin through the side panel of the buttstock. I cannot see it in any others. The stock finish looks like it was put on over partially cleaned and sanded wood... blotchy. The forend wood does not look scorched, but more like it was very filthy and oil soaked, especially near the iron. This is difficult, but not impossible to clean. I'm certainly no "professional", but I've done better on a couple forends that looked like ebony.

Nope, that is professional redo that exanctly matches original Ithaca CCs. The colors are simply to vivid and stock finish from what I can make out to "new" looking to be Ithaca factory original.  I'm clueless as to where the CC on that 1915 Parker came from, but it does remind me of certain moldy piece of food. In that top dark pic it looks like amateur torch job.
