Two questions:
Why did you buy it?
How much did you pay?
If it is in the original box, and the finish hasn't been rubbed out, you might be able to sell it for a (substantial?) profit to someone who wants a safe queen and is willing to pay big bucks to get it. In this case you can spend part of the money to get a less-then perfect example to use as a shooter, while putting the difference in your pocket.
On the other hand, if that idea won't work for you, go ahead and shoot it.
I have done both, and in the first instance used the profit to buy additional guns. One thing I never do is listen to those who say, "Shoot it!! Shoot it" when they have none of their money involved. Personally I have never had any trouble making up my own mind, and therefore go in what ever direction my best interests lie.
