Yes, it would be nice to see some pics. If you get a quote from H&H for restoration you had better be sitting down. The gun has no sentimental value to you so you need to give careful consideration to having a restore done by the likes of H&H. You can, however, still breathe some new life into it without going to the expense of a full restoration by H&H. Mind you, I have no clue about your financial status and maybe money is no object as far as a restoration cost. If that is the case "go for it" as it is nice to have these guns resurrected. That is providing there is something there worth working with in the first place.
