I have a guy who gave me an old Winchester model 1897 12 gauge. If there was any blueing on it, it is all gone, what is left is a silver finish. Is this gun worth anything, he is inquiring about reblueing it or just hanging it up. There is a very small indent on the barrel where it got hit against something. Can this be taken out? Should I have it reblued for him? Or is it worth more just as it is above the mantel?
Thanks,
Steve
 
97's

The Mod 97 is very popular with CAS shooters and they love well worn.An original finish gun is always worth more than a restored one.Check with some smiths who works on 97's to see what it's worth.
