I got this from a friend and not sure what to do with it. Its been used as a hammer! If the band was replaced it could be sectioned to remove the worst damage.
Problem then is finding the top and fuze. Not common finding original paint.

Personally speaking...it just screams history exactly as it is......NICE !!!!
 
I agree leave as is ! When an item is restored it.loses it’s character and in my case I never buy a restored item preferring to leave as is.
