Kurt, I will chime in here and give my opinion, I am a hammer gun guy, that said when I find a high grade gun that needs to be touched up, I look at a couple things, rarity being number one. If the gun is one of a kind I see no harm in restoring it to its original condition. Where are you going to find another like it? Its like a dirty Corvette You have to wash them to bring out the original beauty of the car, Like Brian says if it is a low grade gun you will not get your money back, thats a fact. The only low grade gun I have had restored was a Folsom Trap gun made by Parker with the Flying Pigeon butt plate the gun was a 12 gauge and I had a 10gauge already the 12 being harder for at least me to find. If a Gun has 50% condition I will leave it alone, Gary
