This has been passed down since it was bought it new (reportedly) in 1907.
My grandfather says he shot it about 5 years ago. I'm wondering what I can do to keep it in the best condition possible, so that I may be able to pass it to my grandkids someday.
Should I do anything to "restore it"? The texture on the metal in some places seems rough, not sure if that's normal for the period or if I can (or even should) do anything to improve it.
