Refurbishing Poll... (informal)

You can always change a posting, I mispell all the time, but you can go in and change it if you want. At least I think so, I know I can, but you should be able to also, plus, there is a spellcheck

Refurbs.... they are better, i.e. nicer than a "reblue", they are also more expensive because of the time, skill and expertise involved.

In many ways, I would rather have a 70% luger than a refurb...

Now, like my Webley that is about 20-30%, I think the value goes up, but the collector value will never be as high as for one left alone.

I think it comes down to, how messed up is yours, how much blueing is gone, then decide, do I just want it done?

Ted's work is night and day, he can make a pig's ear (sows ear?) look and be transformed into a new gun, with its markings almost untouched. Like I said, this costs money because of the skill and time it takes,
