Yeah, isn't that funny? I used to buy only pristine, like new guns; and that's fine, but today honest wear sings to me. Good guns hold up, even after hard use. I'd like to find a worn slick Remington 31, or one of those early Marlin pumps....they are something like 1900 guns. Model 43? Can't recall.
I agree, a worn smooth, silver, ancient shotgun is fun to own and cheap, usually, to buy. So you win both ways.
My GH is worn, no finish and checkering smooth. Good bore though, no cracks and she is a great shooter. Perfect.
