I talked about this before, but wanted to re-ask it.
I have a 1958 Single Six in VERY good condition. Unfortunately, there are scratches on the back strap in the aluminum. If I had it refinished, does that take away from the value [present and future]?
Does it really matter if a frame is finished from the factory or done expertly by a qualified gunsmith? I'm not talking about somethng like really OLD Colts, of course. I don't consider the Ruger Single Six as having "future potential for bringing thousands of dollars" like those old Colts.
The Ruger I have is exceptional, over other newer model three screw revolvers I've seen, but those scratches bother me. But I don't want my "being bothered" to mess up its value.
