Restoration question

Ice · 04-25-2009, 04:59 PM

I know that 'boosting' and 'helping' an old firearms finish is dishonest. I also know that very talented firearms restorers can do miracles with cosmetically challenged pieces when the owner insists and pays for the work.

My question is: Does the restorer mark the piece with his name maybe under the grips to show that it has been restored and not factory original?

Just asking. I have no intention of doing anything dishonest.

Thanks

Charlie
