I just picked up a model 97 Winchester, made in 1906, with a damascus barrel. It has no pitting, the receiver and mag tube have only about 30% remaining finish. The damascus is "OK" but could use a little contrast. The stock, however, has been fiddled with and some schmuck whittled his initials in it. I'm thinking of restocking it and performing an accurate restoration on the rest, including the barrel. I can't seem to find much on what the potential value may become once done. Any opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
