WHILE WE ALL AGREE ON TAKING STEPS TO PRESERVE ITEMS THERE WILL ALWAYS BE CONFLICTING VIEWS ON RESTORATION.

I remember several threads where it was discussed how ethnograhic weapons have to look or should be preserved for future generations and I am sure that there every time will be different points of view.
Here only two examples.
