Pappys 20

[Kensal Rise]

This is a very nice gun that should NOT be messed with ("restored"). It's hard to tell from the photos, but if the frame and action have been blued, I'd have that cleared off carefully by a pro, leaving a muted "silvered" surface... and leave the rest of the gun alone.

If the frame is original case, leave that alone! These old guns look far better as old guns.

Thank you John. The frame has been blued at some point. The photos though, give me a new perspective, almost like being able to see past the bluing to what may be case colors. I agree with you in "old guns look far better as old guns", my concerns are in preservation.

I could'nt agree more John, the gun is beautiful as is and shows wonderful patina. The bluing can be removed.
