I have an 12 ga Ideal grade Elsie that has 90+% case colors, the stock is perfect. The gun is just in great shape and all original. The only problem is that the blue on the side of the right barrel was ruined by being put away wet in a case.While I am willing to take responsibility for any number of bonehead moves I have made, this occurred prior to my ownership. Should I reblue the barrels or not? Mostly from a value perspective. The gun is too nice to take marsh mucking and except for an occasional trip to shoot claybirds or a sunny day pheasant hunt,it mostly stays nestled in the vault with some of it's kin.
