Question on original finish

The difference in a "reblue" of a favorite well used gun (like my 1974 W.German import PP) and a complete "restoration" of a historically significant firearm is like comparing a paint job by MAACO ($175) on a 86 Buick to a frame up restoration of a 58 Corvette. You can't make comparisons. I have very few "keepers". Guns are like dogs, they come and they go. My Thor restored 1918 Erfurt is a keeper. And if you're like me you will just spend that money on another gun anyway. Go for it
