#4 Sniper rifle?

I have a #4 Sniper rifle. A fellow from Australia looked at it at a gun show and confirmed it as a Holland and Holland conversion, it also appears to be one of the first dozen or so to be converted. I don't know what it's worth but a "Dick" at the show offered to clean all of the greenish-bronze paint off it. He said it would improve the value. Should I have let him?

In my opinion, no... :)

I'd like to see pics first if you can post them, of if you have them and don't know how, email them to me at badger@milsurps.com and I'll post them here for you. :thup:
