Hi, I just picked up a colt detective special in a small lot of 38's I bought...plastic grips, uncovered rod(60's?), 2" bbl... the nickel finsh is mostly gone...do I keep this as a beater or do I get it refinished? would I ruin any collector value if it has any the way it is? if I get refinished, blue or nickel? lastly, is it worth the extra $'s to have it done by colt? Thanks!
ps-fwiw, the action and bore are good!

Colt does not have parts for guns no longer in production, nor do they work on them.

Plus, plating is a little forgiving of surface imperfections; bluing isn't.
