Leave it alone or sell it
If you think that you might sell or trade it, don't touch it. If you love it and will keep it for the rest of your life, and don't give a happy **** what you do to it's "collector value", send it to Robar for their NP3+ electro less nickel finish. Do be prepared to pay more for the finish than you did for the pistol.
with papers/history - NO WAY would I touch it! Beautiful by the way. I just got a post war commercial PP in 32 ACP. Bucket list gun for me. And have a Eubanks '50ish vintage holster that fits it. Perfect combo!
