New Owner ?

I'm new to Lugers and after reading "Lugers at Random"
and "The Luger Handbook", I purchased a 1916 DWM. The pistol
has a 4" barrel, military proof markings, matching sn's including the mag (wooden base). Some bluing wear on the barrel and trigger plate. Strawing is OK.

I am thinking of having it restored. Should I leave as is? What effect will restoring have on the value?
