I will be proceeding with appropriate repairs by qualified craftsman. Mr. Dawe is well regarded and also close. I am not in a rush as I want a certain result. I don't know if I want to strip away all the life this gun has lived. What I want is to bring it up to date with the care and maintenance befitting a gun of this quality and vintage. The barrel blue is faded, the bores are excellent with no dents, and the action is tight with well timed ejectors. In my mind the gun needs careful attention by a skilled hand with mind to her accomplishments and life lived. I want it “right” again, as opposed to “new”again.
