[Parker Bachelder (Brad's Profile)]

Hello Lynn, it is not a necessity to fully refinish a set of barrels. If there is a fair amout of the pattern left, one can do a deep cleaning and enhancement of the existing pattern. The restoration process, preserves the original patina, making sure that the cuff matches the collar ! Dents, no problem. The enchancement requires the same equipment as a restoration, not something one can purchase at a hardware store. We use this process on museum quality pieces. Also the price is considerably less than full restoration.
