Thanks for the discussion guys. It's always interesting to hear what others have to say. I was interested to hear what others opinions considering this is such a rare gun. I've pretty much already decided the gun will go to Bill Schwarz in the spring for restoration. The gun is no longer a collector , but I love shooting it , and it's a cool little gun that is extremely rare. With any luck, it will be handed down over generations to my kids , grandkids, and maybe even great grandkids, who will enjoy it as much as me.
