So , what is your opinion on different levels of restorations ?
Should old patina be removed and the parts brought back to proper .
Or should the patinas be left ?
I find it rather odd to see barrels re finished but the rest of the piece left as is.
Im not talking replacing case hardening with torching. Here .
Im wondering about removing years of built up patinas as part of the over all job
do you Prefer that the patina be left or do you lend to , everything being refinished ?
as i said. to me it seems odd to refinish the barrels and stock . but not do any of the other hardware ?
yet i find myself being ask about doing just that .
am i off in my Opinion .
im thinking the customer is considering being able to replace everything in the old stock as a base for value .
which in this case is not all that great anyway . maybe 500.00 tops ????????
