A the risk of this being considered hijacking, at what point does it make sense to restore a piece? I often see pieces that are in poor shape, not extremely collectible, but that I would enjoy having. In some cases, I could likely buy the worn piece and have it restored for less than I would expect to pay for a pristine version, that I would then not want to shoot. Forgive my ignorance and thanks for being tolerant, but opinions would be appreciated. What would one expect to spend to "restore" a handgun like that?
By the way, that is a beauty!
