What to do with these?

I've seen far worse, I'd keep them as is.

Personally it is up to you. Do they bother you in that condition or are you ok with them. They aren't in bad shape, but if you really like the gun and don't plan on selling it, a rebrowning might be worth it.

In my opinion, there is plenty of contrast/definition on those barrels and you wouldn't gain much by restoring them. In fact, it appears that they may have been rebrowned once already, judging by the case color gone entirely on the breech balls and virtually no wear at all where we would expect to see corresponding wear on the sodes of the barrels at the breech.

As you know, dean, this is a gun I'm lookin g at. If id get it I'd leave it azzz is.

What'd you think of the other 1 I linked you?

If you are looking to purchase this gun, have you noticed the area around the doll's head? It appears to have been worked over and thus some of the engraving has been obliterated. Or perhaps there has been some Photoshop work performed on the image. Just saying...

Eagle eye. That's why I'm here asking the experts opinions

You'd think they would have spent the fifty bucks to have it re-engraved.....

The other one is probably nicer - why not show it here and get opinions from others too...

There is a fine line (probably a big grey area) between honest use and worn out. Like Dean says, it is a subjective thing.

I thought the other one looked so much nicer it wouldn't need any restoration
