I agree with this sentiment. Especially when it comes to fine British sporting arms. They were quite regularly sent back to the maker for refurbishment after hunting trips or hunting seasons. Thus, even highly “original” examples have likely already seen some restoration since new.

The key is that the restoration is done properly by a skilled craftsman using proper techniques. As mentioned above, poorly done restorations can ruin a gun. I also prefer a sympathetic restoration which leaves the gun looking like it should look if it had been well cared for in original condition as opposed to having everything over polished such that it looks like a shiny new penny. These over blown restorations can harm value in my opinion.

In the case of this rifle, my opinion is that a proper restoration is a no brainer. It is currently appears to thst in somewhat poor condition having been well used but not abused and doesn’t appear pitted or damaged. It is also a rare and high end example. Thus, I think a proper sympathetic restoration will make it a real knockout. Just one guy’s opinion…
