Here's an easy one....when someone has improperly refinished a nice gun, e.g., blued the frame and cold blued the barrels, restore it properly with case colors and rust bluing. That's a no-brainer. The question becomes more controversial when a gun is in rough but original condition. Also, if a gun is already mismatched in serial numbers and you'd like it better if it were restored, go ahead and make it your own. Nothing left to lose since its not original in its parts, IMHO.
