Default Refurbishing Poll... (informal)

Hello all.

I recently bought a 1920 Commercial DWM P-08 that I'm probably going to have Thor work on, as soon as I can scrape together the extra sheckles. Until recently, I'd always been of the opinion that you should never alter, in any way shape or form, any collectable firearm for any reason.

But there have been a few good arguments made to have this done to my gun, in particular, but I was wondering what the thoughts of the membership were on this topic in general. After all, there are a million different situations and reasons for doing anything, but until recently I was under the impression that altering an old gun, particularly an alteration as radical as a reblue, was wrong. Now I'm not quite so sure about it...

What are your thoughts? Is a total refurb good or bad? If good, are there extenuating circumstances? Where do you draw the line, if you draw one at all?
