Shooting a 1936 S/42 - replace original parts first?

If the condition of this pistol is as good as described, I certainly would not shoot this pistol!

I'd put it away and try to start it off on the next 58 years of life in as good a condition as it ended the last 58 years.

Reading the glass half full versus glass half empty, I would rewrite "has an absolutely perfect bore that just begs to be shot" to read "has an absolutely perfect bore that just begs to be preserved."
