You have a common dilemma. A family heirloom in poor condition that you'd like "restored."

First, understand that it's value as an heirloom cannot be measured except by you. Thus the cost of restoration must be considered an investment in your family legacy and not a pure cost issue.

Accept that you will spend more in the gun's revival than it will ultimately be "worth" on the market.

That said, I'd say keep your family's legacy intact, and find a PRO to restore the gun. Brad Bachelder is currently much preferred for this and will do a fine job.
