IMHO , You touch that gun with anything but oil you arnt right in the head ! I may put a little WD40 on a cloth and remove that paint. You dont want that gun in that condition I know for sure that there is many of us that would.

No way should you restore that gun. I wouldn't even put any oil on it or even touch it. A gun that sweet should be hung up on a wall for all to see.

A gun that nice should be exercised regularly....

On the question of value, a 1 frame 12 DH similar to yours was sold in the 5500 dollar range recently.

Wouldn't that make a great Argentina dove gun?! I'd love to have a 1-frame D-grade but when I shoot a 30" F/F gun it's generally with heavy loads which doesn't make much sense with a 1-frame. My 1-1/2 frame is punishing enough with stout loads, enough that I don't do it any more. My 26" 1-frame GHE12 on the other hand is a sterling little grouse/woodcock killer. I'd be all over this D if it had short bbls....

In looking at the photos, the tiggers look different or should I say interesting in form. Or is it just me?

I noticed that the rear trigger is a bit far forward.
