I don't know where you hunt but I can say that " In all my trips to Africa, I have never had rain pouring on me and in the evening there was always an oily rag to wipe down the exterior of the rifle". I sold the Holland for 35,000 US and had I known you were in the market, I would have called you.

In regards to refinishing, it all depends on who does the work. Color case hardening is how the bulk of the rifles came from the factory and is " how they were meant to look ". The St Ledgers in London do an excellent job of re-coloring and have been in business many years due to this fact. There are also a couple of fellows in the US who can duplicate the original colors as well.

Loose actions are not easily fixed if done properly. Piecing the hook is not the way to do it. Nor is throwing a burr or two upon the pin or the hook to " tighten the fit ".

Triggers and locks are not always in a condition to be adjusted. If the wear is significant the part or spring has to be remade.

Again, all in ones taste. I could not see driving around in a Porsche with a crunched in fender or having a nice house with a yard that is a total mess. Just my personality and how I like things done.
