Different strokes for different folks. The only trouble is that those guns that are antiques now were new guns then.
I used to help my grandpa who used to do repairs for a big slum lord in sydney and he did plumbing, painting and carpentry work as well (he had all three trades). We went into one house which had bare sandstock brick walls. Most were calcumined and painted. Nowadays folks buy these houses and spend lots of time and elbow grease removing the calcumine and paint and gettingthat nice bare brick look, very trendy, lots of work or expense getting it on old inner city houses. As we got out of his utility, he said 'Now Michael, these people are very poor and they do not have paint on the walls. You are not to mention it or pay any attention to it, but just be polite and treat them as you treat any other person. They have no money, but have a few chooks out the back. They will offer us some eggs in payment, we will have a cup of tea and I will forget to take the eggs, as I always do. Do not notice this and do not remind me about the eggs, they need the food more than we do. Treat all people as though they run the country. If they do, they deserve the respect and if they don't they probably need it' I have to smile when I see tose trendy houses with the bare old sandstone brick walls nowadays.
