To refinish, or not to refinish - that is the question.
I have a pre-model 10, Military and Police revolver in .38 special that I inherited many years ago. The blue finish is very thin in some places, and completely gone in others. There is no rust on the gun, and it functions flawlessly. I also inherited a K-38 Target Masterpiece and Model 36 which are in nearly-new condition. I don't particularly want the pre-10, and I'm thinking of selling it. So far, every potential buyer has rejected the gun because of the worn finish. Here's my question: Should I invest the money to have the gun re-blued, or just opt for a lower selling price? In other words, is it worth the cost of refinishing the gun?
