Bullshit, Ed. Any graded Parker shotgun in 85% original condition is worth way more than any Parker in the same grade and gauge "restored" by Turnbull--original and unaltered are the Holy Grail of Parkerdom. The only 12 gauge double I lost $ on in a later re-sale was a Parker 12 GH made in 1924, and "restored" by Turnbull. I have not yet owned a Parker "restored" by DelGrego, however.
