OK. I will put my non-technical stuffs aside, just talk this "professionally restored". The work was not very professional: The overall color tone is wrong. The trigger finish is wrong. The halo on "sunrise" is gone. The hammer was poorly sand blasted. After 100+ years, it's "old reblued".

Alvin what would an untouched example be worth? what price would you put on this one?
