It is very likely your gun could benefit from a careful check, clean, refurbish, and refinish the barrels. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

The thing is, if the rest of the gun has it's old finish it will in my opinion not look right. When I do mine I only make the barrels show the pattern and not bring the full look to them compared to the rest of the gun. These are WW Greener barrels from 1892 David

You won't live long enough to wear down a bright pattern to blend in. Years ago I sent Keith Kearcher a set of Parker barrels that had all the pattern worn off where it was carried. The rest of the barrels still had a bit of finish remaining. After discussing it with Keith he experimented and only cleaned the barrels before rusting--he did nothing to remove the old finish. After a few rustings the worn area took on the same appearance as the rest of the barrels. Beautiful and didn't look refinished. Something to consider...... When an old man dies a library burns to the ground. (Old African proverb)

The barrels had been hot blued and I just wanted it restored like it came from factory. I had to get mag glass to see pattern when I took small part of blue off.
