In my opinion, if the plan is to keep it in the collection of your own and it belonged to your grandfather- do what you want. Having it professionally restored is an option, leaving alone is also an option. I have guns that don’t look great but I still enjoy carrying and I’ve had a few refurbished -do what you want, it’s nice to have something from a past family member-you can’t buy that. Join the PGCA!
