Bob; 21's other than the new reproductions by Galazan have been out of production for a long time. As a result, many original 21's have undergone some sort of restoration. I have found that almost any restoration that is done properly, or as Winchester would have done, pretty much gets the 'nod'. Still, I don't think any restoration, no matter how well done, is as valuable as a pristine, original piece......at least for me, and if one can tell. Also, I really hope this thread does not turn in to a dissertation regarding Galazan. I for one don't want to have to stomach that.
