That deep relief engraving on the receiver bottom between the triggerplate and the hinge , and the corresponding rosette on each side plate, are unique to my limited experience. And beautiful. This alone makes the gun worthy of owning. I too would leave the wrapped grip alone and see how the rest of the gun could be cleaned up without "restoring" anything. I see at least one PGCA member in the bidding cue, so good luck out there. I have no plans myself to bid. No dinero.
