mulling it over. Thoughts?

Good pics, I think it may be somewhere around 50-60% overall but like Ed I tend to be conservative so as not to be misleading. I have mixed feelings about having it refinished, one side of my brain says do it while the other side says don't touch it. Value wise I guess the end result would be about the same. Even at 50% bluing it rates an NRA grade of 'fine' which is pretty good for one that age while refinishing it will reduce the grading to 'good' the resale value would probably be about the same in my opinion. If I had one each in front of me and was trying to decide which one to buy I probably would go with the refinished one.
