Just picked up a 1903 vintage A grade in almost great shape. The metal is great - doesn't appear to have been refinished. However some butthead applied a layer of varnish. Didn't even have the brains to remove the wood while applying finish. Didn't remove any minor dings - covered some of the metal - varnish has runs etc.
I've always been told refinishing guns may lower value. However, as the wood has already been refinished I assume that properly correcting the problem could restore some of the value.
Comments?

Re: 1894 A grade value
die,
At the end of the day it's your gun and you should be happy owning it.
I don't believe you can do anything but enhance it's value to you and others!
Let us know how it comes out.
