Winchester 72(short-long-long rifle) (1938)

[Gambeeno]

Just picked this up today. seems to be in good shape would like to restore it. But I don't want to do something to make it loose value! So can anybody tell me what I can do to it? Or what it might be worth? I'm dying to start on it but would like to gather as much information as possible about it. Any knowledge shared is appreciated! Thanks!

Wax it clean it shoot it. Anything you do that touches the patina and finish will have a detrimental effect on its value.
