I say--restore it. If it doesn't look good to you now; it will not look any better 20 years from now. If the well healed collectors do not want it now, they will not likely want it in 20 years either. I note quite a few Lugers on market as restored that seem to bring more than same in 40% orig condition. The Key word is RESRORE---not a buffing wheel ground reblue job. Retore it and enjoy it more.
