Restoring GH worth it?

[Kensal Rise]

From what I can see, this gun is well worth a measured amount of resto. The crack/split/repair you mention is key to the biggest concern. Wish you had posted a photo. Again, it seems that a limited resto that preserves the gun's age and patina might be well worth considering. However, this may not be a gun to "learn on" if you are a budding hobbyist.

And the price you paid isn't out of order if the barrels are sound - outside of the blue finish that is.

[C.O.B.]

The barrels can be redone for around $300 and I highly recommend Dale Edmonds. I would contact Brian Dudley through this forum on repairing the crack in the stock and maybe some TLC on the wood as a whole. this definitely has potential and IMHO is well worth the added expense.
