I'm looking into having it refinished by Bill Adair. I wouldn't want the original grips to be touched but I'd love the property writing and pony to come back home. It would cost close to $500 but as stated the current collector value is nil so I wouldn't be doing it any harm. Not to mention I'd love to see her in her original clothing.

Also, I found out the barrel isn't original...it has an intertwined HP stamp which dates it to 1918-1919 (per Adair).
