Trying to decide: restoration or leave it be.

Simoon,
something that I always key up on is the locking bolt. Few people are able to keep the flatness aas well as the champhered edges while restrawing. The pictures you sent, while good, are not really good enough the really tell. But my guess is the the flat surface looks a bite rounded. Only you can tell because you have the gun in your hands. I see what you mean by the possible buffed proof mark on the left side. But the gun otherwise looks good. Good enough to cast and element of doubt. As long as there is that element of doubt then you should NOT restore this gun. You would only eliminate the element of doubt and then you and everyone else would then know that it is a restored gun for sure.
