Once it's restored/refinished it's no longer original and value will differ between seller and buyer.

I have a CHE damascuss 20 which acording to TPS only 8 were made with 26 inch bbls. It has the original (confirmed with a letter) Silvers pad thats crushed to a pancake and after 114 years the damascuss bbls could use to be refinished. Do I have the bbls redone and a new pad installed?? The gun would look better but then it's not "original" any longer and how many 100% original guns are out there esp in this configuration?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but it's only original once and therefor priced accordingly.
