Big Norm asked what "boosting" is and didn't get a reply. I don't know what it means either, but I'll take a GUESS from context and maybe someone will be kind enough to correct me if needed.

Boosting must be different from faking or refinishing, so it probably means adding an identifier, such as a proof, to make a gun appear rarer than it is. An outrageous example might be stamping a certain script "GL" design on the tail of the rear toggle.
