I think "destroyed" might be too harsh a word. I guess it depends on who ends up with them and how much money they are willing to spend.Since their collectibility is gone they can still be turned into presentable shooters by someone other than a "name" restoration gunsmith. I have done some pretty fair "patch jobs" on botched stocks myself. I am not a gunsmith but I am familiar with matching wood and repair of antique furniture. I have "browned" the metal of some over cleaned guns back to decent looking too.None of this applies to anything high grade/historically signifigant though.
