Mike:
I can't tell for sure from the pictures, but it appears to be salt blued. correct? Do you think this would be a candidate for professional restoration; add a few tool marks, sharpen some corners, and correctly rust blue it? Seems like it may be worth the investment on a gun of this level.
It is a miracle that none of those markings got more washed out in the buffing process.
Regardless, thank you for sharing.
