    Guy: Once again we get the "what's it worth" question. It sounds like the gun has been completely restored to like new condition. First, you must realize that your gun in question will only be new ONCE. As they say it is only worth what the buyer is willing to pay and the seller is willing to accept. I know this doesn't answer your question but it is the practical answer. On many occasions the cost of restoration far exceeds the value on the gun.In rare cases, when the gun has documented historical provenance and should be restored .Then this is another question. I suggest setting a price that you can live with and either proceed or decline the purchase.
