Dan, I suggest you consider that a true, full rstoration is expensive, depending on the wood selected and checkering, depending also on how much metal prep is needed, depending finally on how much engraving needs to be chased/redone. Once you look at these angles remember that "restored/upgraded" guns rarely bring what the pristine gun does. In other words your heirs may profit, but it is doubtful you will. With that said the Rev.,Dr. Drew has given you several good leads, as has Ken Hurst. Finally suggest you make a visit to the 'smith you entrust your heirloom to and get an idea of his/her work. If you like what you see get a written estimate of both cost and delivery time. Anyone worth doing business with should be happy to do this as well as furnish references. Remember it is YOUR money and it will likely amount to $3K+ of an outlay for anyone decent to do the job. Best, Dr. BILL
