I know some of you frown upon restoration, but this one was done very well. Sorry to say I do not know who did it, as I bought it this way. Here are some pictures.

I do not have a problem accepting this restoration, providing the markings are clear with some depth. Most beautiful colors. The wood is astonishing.

The markings are far beyond most restoration or reblue jobs. Looks as though the checkering was reworked too. Would be nice to know who did this beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the compliments. I value this rifle as one of my most prized possessions. I even have it covered inside my heated safe so I don't bump another rifle against it. ;)
