So, just curious , how do you rate the condition of a 117 yr. old firearm? Dents and dings in the wood? Wear caused by handling and use? Patina?
I have seen pics of restored Damascus barreled shotguns, Parkers specifically, and while they are beautiful, it just seems to me, restoration and refinishing, takes away the character and history. Why take an old gun and try to make it look like a new one?
