Hi John, I'm picking these guns up all the time. I'm lucky, I'm in England.
Anyway, I look for precisely the guns you are speaking of. I do them up and either keep them or sell them. I make no bones they are restored and I love the work. It isn't my full time profession but I do love it...just getting into case colour hardening.
On the engraving side I've not had that done yet, it is SILLY expensive to have something re-engraved here. Talking 800 quid upwards for a basic engraving on a gun.
Regards,
Tony
