[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 438091, member: 1387"] Michael, I agree. If I have a pipe that is 83 years old and has been restored to the point that it has zero patina, it has lost some of it's mojo IMO. In the antique gun world, if someone re-blues the metal, and refinishes the gun stock, they will actually diminish the value of a collectible gun in most cases. Bottom line, is that patina is something that is difficult to obtain, and is one of the primary indicators of age that most antique collectors are using as a gauge of worth and authenticity. [/QUOTE]
