It's so rare, that none of that matters - UNLESS you start fooling with it.
FWIW, many collectors value guns still in original, un-restored/unrepaired, condition to one that's had less than a museum quality restoration - which not many folks can do in their home workshop, much less on the kitchen table.
You could easily do what a lot of unknowing folks do - turn a rifle worth several thousand dollars into a $500 (or less) parts gun.
