To me, that background changes the metrics, at least if you plan to keep it and use it. You can certainly enjoy the gun, as is, and the memories. Or, go all in and make it right. You don’t have any $ invested in it now so spending a reasonable amount to have it restored wouldn’t be a waste and it might be a nice way to honor the fellow who gave it to you.

As it sits right now, in terms of market value, it’s not worth much. But the value to you is incalculable. We can’t put a value on that history, that something only you can do.
