Wow--take a $1200 gun and make it a $300 gun. What a business! I am surprised this business owner survived to adulthood let alone can run a business ostensibly about things he apparently knows little about.

Rust blue repair of the gun and deepening of the markings would be partial restoration. If someone with a good eye and a sunny place to inspect the finish can match the original finish parts, it would be more valuable than a totally refinished pistol. My guess is it would be worth about $600-700 if expertly repaired but that is a wild guess.

I hate to hear stories like these.
