A lot of folks will jump in here, and tell you not to have the gun refinished, as it will destroy any collector value. With your particular gun, I wouldn't have it done, as it has honest wear, and apparently has a value, to you, way beyond the monetary. If you do decide to have it refinished, I'd send it back to Colt. That's where I send all the ones that people tell me not to have refinished.
