There is a product called Blue Wonder you might consider to pretty it up inexpensively. If it is scratched up, you would need some 0000 steel wool to polish it after you remove the original bluing. I see consignment guns around here all the time that have been polished and nickeled. People snap them up even at what I consider an outlandish price for a refinished gun (e.g., $850 for a nickeled over 1917). If you reblue it yourself, you might be able to get $400 from a non-collector. (I know, I know...Blasphemy!)
