Well, there is also a third choice, a combination of both methods. While i personally wouldn't strip the paint off the hilt and refinish the wood, the gandar is missing its toe piece which might be nice to replace (black horn would look nice perhaps). But there is something nice about the patina of the hilt and the way the paint has been worn with time that may be worth preserving.
