Did we just RUIN this Lever Gun ?? Lever Action Pistol 'Old West' Mod

Making a Lever Action Pistol Look Old

I used some techniques I researched to modify this lever action .22 Henry Mare's Leg to look more used and abused

What do you think?
Was this project worth the time, effort and changing the gun?

Do you like this pistol better like new, or modified (distressed)
