I believe the gun has been restored once already and the surface was power wire brushed hence the degradation of the floor plate edge. To fix that correctly would require the TIG addition of metal and then very careful hand fitting. It would still not be right and will most likely leave a shadow line and funky case hardening colors. So I won't have that done. I just wanted to touch up the engraving and that will cost $2500.
I did take it dove shooting this past September, no birds though.
