I didn't realize this post is 13 years old. I guess my take on this gun is just leave it as found. Enjoy it along with the old pics, and the stories they tell. Together they're a piece of your family history. If you were planning on shooting and using this gun, I'd spend the money and restore it, but I don't think that's the case here. We have a couple of guys/members here that could make this gun look like it did when it went in the box to be shipped from the factory. Chris Dawe and Brian Dudley, both master craftsman. Although costly, it may be well worth it. A gun of this grade deserves to be put back in the field behind a good bird dog! Well, for what's it's worth, good luck with whatever you decide!
