Trying to decide: restoration or leave it be.

[simoon]

I've owned this 06 Naval Commercial for a long time. All matching except the magazine which is a nice American Eagle.
The strawing is weak, and I'm confused on the finish. It would appear to be original by the crispness of the proofs on the underside of the barrel, and the condition overall, but the weakness of the proofs on the left side of the receiver looks like a buff job to me.
It would be a great restoration candidate unless it's collector value dictates otherwise. I have to admit that I worked on the grips 20 years ago. They look great, but I might have done a no no. Comments?
