Thank you. Not so much a shock, my brother and I have had that discussion about a collector 1903 (we like to shoot what we collect but we are on the lower tiers of it so can do so for all but the one he has)
I am on the fence and the views and reasons for not shooting it are much appreciated.
I approach it with caution, no need to shoot it until I can get both some idea of the value and the risks.
Breaking it did occur to me but a numbered part loss is permanent and had not got that far (none of what we shoot has breakable parts that have an ID, what breaks can be replaced with no loss of value.
I put that loss of a number part in the pretty persuasive column.
