It belongs to Bruce. That should be enough for anybody.

It looks like it has enough shellac on it to sink a destroyer.
Bruce, take it apart and run it through an ultrasonic cleaner a few times and see how the metal work looks. If it cleans up enough, just have it restocked.

If I took off the shellac, wouldn't that destroy the patina of age and harm its vintage value? Wouldn't want to do that. Noooooo.

I vote for making sure it is mechanically sound and then shooting it.

I really think you should do it (restore). The gun obviously has special meaning to you and in its current condition it can't meet your needs. Don't worry about the money-its not about money -its about something far more important.
