Canvasback and Stan,
I'm in agreement with your points. Restoration of both cars and guns should be viewed the same. Due to age and use, there are relatively few in pristine, original condition. Bringing an old car back to original type condition via restoration is admired and valued. The same thing should be true with doubles, as long as the work is credible. That's one area that the Europeans are more sensible, understanding that there is nothing wrong with periodic work to bring a gun back to high condition, thus allowing it to be used and enjoyed by future generations for many years to come.
Regards
Ken
