Thanks Robin!
I've heard restoring antiques takes away from the value but the pitting on the barrels is just plain ugly. The stock and fore end finishes are ok while the usual wear and scratches seem to add some character. The action is good and the bores are in excellent shape. When I remove the fore end all I can do is cock the gun. The barrels will not separate from the frame.
Are you or would you recommend a restorer?
