algrennathan,
I agree with Wiregrassguy! Don't let just anyone re-blue it. Because of it's scarcity, it's the exception to the rule of not being able to get the money invested for restoration back out of a common gun.
You wouldn't get the $2800 of a 98% original finish gun, but I think the market value would easily be the $800-1000 (or whatever it cost) for a proper restoration.
