JR, while I might attempt minor refinishing on lesser guns, I wouldn't touch #31 with a screwdriver myself. If I decide to do so, it will go to Art's and only Art's. Normally a gun being refinished can lower the value, but I think Art's team is recognized as the Superposed experts (and A-5s, etc) so I am confident they will only improve the gun and it's value, especially since it was refinished once already in the mid '80s.
