Shoot it and love it as is, if you want a pretty shiny one just buy one that is already that way and sell this one. Refinishing this gun will not only cost you money, but reduce the value of the gun. The only reason to re-finish such a gun is if you plan on keeping it forever and just need it to look a certain way.

i think this is the best advice about refinishing. If you going to keep it and want it to look a certain way, refinish it, value be damned. I also believe, that as these old guns become harder to find, a well done refinish will not decrease the value of a given, less rare piece.
