Okay, the fertile mind never resting, there's a new question. Considering the lineage of this piece, would any of you get it restored if it was yours? In my case, I can do it myself, so it's not really throwing money away. I can do the straw and enhance the blue without stripping it, and I've already ordered some grips - these have cracks I repaired. The marks on the frame flat are just some numbers a previous owner scratched on there. I believe I can make it look just like the pistol on the home page. I'll probably put a repro sideplate on it if I can't find a real one I like - this one is fine, but it's an Erfurt.
