For whatever my opinion is worth, if I live long enough I've several guns that I hope to bring "back from the dead" and not a single one of those guns would ever be worth the investment doing so would require. I seriously doubt I'll have finances to get them all done, but I'll do what I can; and I'll do so because I know they're rare and deserve to be preserved. That was a beautiful Daly when it was new and what a pity that it has been so abused; so if not you, then I hope that at some point someone will restore it to some measure of its former glory.
