Kudos. A wise and well-considered position. And about all you'd need to make this gun a bit more prideful is to have those rounded edges of the bottom plate laser welded back up, the plate refitted, edge engraving restored, and the wear/patina matched up in that area.

If it were me, I'd send the gun off to Brad Bachelder and have it done. Cost for the work should be very tolerable.
