Buffed is Buffed Ice... and the reason the blue job came out so poor is that the temperature of the blue solution was not controlled properly.

If you rust blue the gun yourself, there won't be much of an investment in the gun. Do plenty of reading before you try it, and try it first on some scrapp sttel or old gun parts before you try it on the gun itslef...

said all that to say I agree that refinishing this one would not lower it's value anymore than it is already... It looks like it will be a great shooter.
