If you have the time and the inclanation you might take more pictures at different angles of the barrel blemish. Some times the camera dose funny things. As for restoration or serious clean up my rule of thumb is if a gun is so bad as to be non functional (assuming the barels are sound) than any work you do to bring it back to life is a good thing. If a gun is mechanically sound and the wood is,nt to cosmeticaly challanged than restoration is not cost effective.Unless it is rare you wont get your money back.
