I've never been able to get past "who cares?" on this. It seems to be a thing we Americans obsess over. As has been mentioned here and often, the Brits regularly send back their guns for refreshing. This seems to be a good practice to ensure the gun functions well and looks great. Of course, we would all dream of finding that amazing double which has been sitting in a closet in cosmoline since leaving the factory, perfectly preserved, looking as it did in 1923. Those are exceedingly rare. And when you buy one, you also put it in storage so as not to decrease its value. No thanks. I hunt and shoot clays with everything I own. If it looks great and shoots great, original means nothing to me.
