Trying to decide: restoration or leave it be.

Beautiful Navy Commercial, Simoon. The edges of the receiver are sharp. The "U" and "B" proofs are sharp and struck with apparently a worn dye. The edges on the side plate are also sharp. I don't see any evidence of buffing. The grips, although reworked by you, look great. It's a great looking piece that smacks of being completely original. To "restore" such a piece would deserve life in prison!
