I still believe that the less you do the better, but that sometimes it is better to do something than nothing at all.

Hello David,

In most cases it's the question in which condition you find a weapon. When found in good condition is a cleaning and oiling enough.
By a good restoration you can see the age of a weapon and it's always important by a possible sale to mention restorations.
