100% in agreement, 100%! The trick is to tastefully restore it, not attempt to make it look new. The only caveat to the previous comment is that a replacement stock will be in the offing.
When completed the gun will look like a well cared for, yet well used vintage gun. However under the hood it will get the full mechanical overhaul to ensure another 121 years of reliable service.
Of course all this is contingent on whether or not I just bought a wall hanger!
We'll see in a few days!
Fingers X'd...
