prospect 1. A luger. Restore, keep as original... Though Thor's work is soooo mighty tempting, I would probably settle for an early restored luger in 9mm... I hate rust, I hate pitting. Pet peaves.

So, when restoring a Luger, you really have to put a sign up, or at least I would, saying "not original - but restored". and price it thus.

Prospect 2. Springfield 1903A1 National Match. Rifle sold 1930. Rebarreled by Springfield 1933. Owned by 2 competitive shooters from 1930 to 2003, who applied their personal touches to modify this rifle for competition. Minor things. Sights, bolt, cocking nob, lower barrel band.

Question: Is it restored when I put back on this rifle the correct parts that were taken off? As you all probably know, these are unnumbered parts, these are readily available parts. These are legitimately correct parts. So, does this rifle become a restored rifle or a correct NM rifle? Is this a $3,200 restored rifle, or a $4,200 correct original rifle?

I am not refinishing a single part.

When I offer this rifle for sale, how should I represent it? "Restored", "corrected", "original"?
Keep in mind, I will be including the parts I removed from the rifle with the rifle.
