Photos would help. In any.....(snip)........
The (lucky) owner of a classic Ford Mustang with dented bodywork and paint in poor condition would have the car restored to its former glory so why not offering that "face lifting" to your faithful M.1903?

Louis,
Excellent analogy and I would concur with your thoughts.
That said, on a nice collectable vintage piece I would not have a stock restoration done by just any old gunsmith. Best done by a craftsman familiar with doing “sympathetic” restoration or refresh on classics.
