Sure you could reblack the barrels, but they look pretty nice to me. If you do reblack have the right guy do it who can match the old color/technique.

They are sadly much worse in person then they show in the photo's. Light pitting throughout. If this gun didn't have 32" barrels it would be worth about $600 IMO. However, the barrel length make it quite unique for sure. Glad its been added to my stable.

The barrels are in the right hands to be handled properly. When I got my 1907 VH "Becker Pigeon Gun" back from a Dan restocking, I asked, "What's the deal with the barrels?" When I sent them, they were well freckled and quite dull but I had not asked Dan to do any metal work on the gun. He said "I freshened them up a bit." They looked like a PB factory finish with a few field scratches.
