Although this isnt a 1911 related question, I know I will get an answer here. I love my Browning HP's like I love my 1911's (ok, not as much). In saying that, I have two that are pretty much minty... 99%. The first is a Practical, the second is one of the old Bright pistols with gold trigger.
The last one is an all matching numbers war time gun with eagles and the works. The bluing is around 85-90% but, by no means great. I literally have no attachment to this gun as it was not a family members or anything like that... I got it for a nice deal from a friend. In all honesty the only reason I still own it is because my wife is 100% German and she thinks its cool.
So in saying that, I have been thinking of having a HP gone over and reworked... the war time gun is the only one that would need to have work done/could be redone... basically send it to Heirloom (or the likes). I have been told by a bunch of people to leave it alone and shoot it. I think it would be cool to bring it up to par but, I am not sure. Thoughts?
