The best article I have read on this subject was written by Charlie Price in the Spring 1994 DGJ "Parker Economics". The author covers the economics of gun collecting from original condition to fully restored. I reread it about once a year to keep myself on track---it is a great article that applies today.
His advise regarding restoration makes sense to me----restore only what is to ugly to look at---keep the rest original and full restoration rarely makes any economic sense.
