Gentlefolk;
Please forgive the ravening ignorance, but... I have ravening ignorance.
I am well aware that a re-blued Luger has lost its collection value - I would not want to take my 1938 Mauer and have it refinished. Fair enough...
What I don't understand is why?
Presumably, the weapon would be stripped, cleaned, refinished and therefore protected to a far better extent than its current condition.
So while this makes sense to me, it is clearly incorrect. Could someone explain why old weapons should not be refurbished?
thx!
Don
