If their is no blueing now, I would say it would already have no collector interest. It is not like it is 100 years old and rare. Their are LOTS of them out their. I would not hesitate to reblue it. I say buy it, and redo it. More than likely you will keep it for a long time anyway.
I just wanted to get some input on it and thank you for it. Thats how I feel and yes unlike previous aquisitions this one will end up with my son.
