Looking for someone within a day's drive of NW PA (don't trust shippers) to do period cosmetic restoration of an 1860's era very high end Scottish 14ga dbl. barrel muzzleloader. Gun is in perfect mechanical condition. Checkering and engraving is sharp and crisp, no cracks in the wood. Barrels need Damascus pattern restored (would the process remove the original siver plating on the breech?), bluing restored on the trigger guard, and the wood refinished, couple of minor dents near the butt plate due to improper storage, and the Gold replaced in the Silver plated breech engraving. All steel metal appears to be in the white except for the protected areas of the trigger guard, no rust, is this normal? What type opf finish is this?
Been hunting the gun on every nice (sunny) day the past 2 years, even killed a Gobbler of a life time this past spring and would like to see the gun in it's original glory.
