I have an ex-Indian no. 4 Mk1/2 T and the thought has crossed my mind to have Brian refinish it but I can't quite bring myself to do it. The way I see it refinishing would lower the collector value and destroy the rifles history at the same time. I have no plans to sell it any time soon but as every Tom,Dick and Harry the world over knows the current U.S. economy sucks hard enough to create a vacuum on a shrimp net so I may have to part with it in the future to survive. The question is: how much of it's value would be removed with the old finish?
