Hello everyone... I received a 1943 LC Smith field grade hammerless side by side shotgun from my father some years ago. The gun was originally purchased by my great-grandfather and passed down. I have always cherished it, but did not really realize what I had until I found your site. I was so excited that I joined right away! My gun is in pretty good condition with only a few scratches and knicks here and there in the wood. The barrels are like mirrors, neither my dad or myself has ever shot the gun and I have been told that it has only been fired twice. I was wondering if it would even be worth the time and expense of having it professionally restored? Will it affect it's value? The gun really means alot to me and I want to make sure that it receives the care that it deserves. Thank you for your time!
