Somebody did a nice job on the polishing, it looks nice and flat. Considering the Remington Rand's are fairly valuable in stock shape the dressing up is taking a pretty hard hit on the price, like maybe cutting 2/3rds off. If it were mine I'd undo the gold and have it blued. The polishing and bluing is nice enough it might have more appeal like that.
That gold makes a lot of guys cringe, I'd like it all blued.
