That's an awesome analogy Alvin! My whole goal is to be able to pass down some pretty incredible heirlooms like my father did for me. Though I'm much more of a gun nut than he is. I just want to keep these in the best condition possible. I'm glad to hear collectibility isn't necessarily hurt by the subtle 'red iron oxide'. I agree that it looks kind of cool - and adds confidence to it being the original finish.
