Gentlemen,
I believe this idea is a very good one....but I have reservations. Numerous Techniques of restoration are the same as 'manufacture', which may help the 'fakers' or those that 'dress-up' less valuable weapons for profit. We could end up passing useful information to these individuals.
I believe that this information should be protected by limiting access ....ie members only and perhaps a 'minimum' number of postings before access. This would help limit viewing to potential fakers and perhaps more inexperienced collectors whom may 'unwittingly' attempt restoration on a 'significant' piece.
Kind Regards David
