Should I refinish?
« on: September 20, 2005, 07:25:11 PM »
I have a ballister Rigaud, with a low 3 digit serial number. I took it in as part of a trade several years ago, with the intention of re selling it. Once I took it to the range there was no way I was ever going to part with it. It is a great shooter. It will feed and function with anything I feed it. It is all original, the frame,barrel and slide all have matching numbers. I am thinking of re blueing it and changing the sites. Normally, I would never think of doing that with an older firearm. I don't know what these are selling for now but a couple of years ago when I aquired this they where cheap so I never though of it as a collectors item but now, I don't know.

any advice would be greatly appreciated
