Dad's service BUG? Priceless.
I am not done, but here is a taste, its the barrel of a Winchester model 370.......Before & after.I guess we are not going to see examples of 303tom's amazing work.
one has to wonder why that is
Refnishing? I am up in the air about that.. True it will then not be original, but will it help it last longer? I keep it cleaned and lubed, so I am debating on the refinish. Even the current finish tells the house fire story..

I completly agree with RC - forget what it is "worth" to others. It is YOURs and your father's legacyIf it were mine?
I wouldn't even consider refinishing it.
Right now, you have a free gun your late father left to you.
And a living piece of family history you can hold in your hand while telling your kids about thier grandfather the cop someday, and the fire that burned the house.
Refinished, you have a refinished S&W worth maybe three bills that you paid at least two bills to have the living family history erased forever.
Tell that story to your kids.
