Well he had the gun restored by James Flynn a notable expert.

And he got in contact with Captain Askins Grandson Bill (Son of Col. Charles Askins (a interesting gun writer in the 50’s and 60’s)) and has been of assistance helping him get full value for some of the family’s guns they wish to part with.
Yeah he was. I think I read him in G&A back when (mid '70s).
Whoever Flynn is did nice work on that, do you think the resto harms it?
