Restore, or not?

Fellows:

Would you restore, or not restore, a Luger that:

1. Is a vet bring-back (no letter) 1938 S42 with matching parts. All parts salt blued

2. Good to very good bore.

3. Finish is rough, broadly freckled w/o deep pits, some areas of bare steel around "ears"

4. VG walnut grips.

5. Dealer is asking 1,550.00, 2 mags (mismatched) and original holster dated 1939, missing lift strap. Sorry, I don't have pictures.

Comments welcome.
