to restore or not to restore. that is the question. I take it a 1916 isnt that rare so i may just make it a shooter. Reblue it and put some gold inlay on it and make a nice show piece/shooter. advice?

It will still be pitted, and bluing won't really improve it as a shooter; nor make it more valuable, IMO. RE-bluing would kind of be like putting lipstick on a pig; enjoy it for what it is- it really does not look that bad. Kill the rust and let her go. The 1916 is the year with the third fewest production L P08 pistols; so while not scarce it is a "better" year!
