Don H. your point is understood, and as always car restoration is compared too gun restoration, with the understanding that restoring a Chevy will never compare too a restored gun in how value is graded, but read again that this is about touch up work, a gun that can be bolstered/faked too some poor unsuspecting shumck (did I spell that right?)down the road. Not saying Ted is doing this for down the road profits, as he is informing this small group of what he did now for a customer. For the few of us at the last Reno gun show at Russ's table, remember the really uninformed guy who at the end on Saturday paid too dollar for a piece of ground up crap P08, and did it with out FFL.....he needed a home EPT test, and was unsupecting and uninformed as possible, now how about the beginner collector looking at this Mauser a few years down the road? he is going too get burned.....no war Don, we all want too preserve the hobby.
