Hi,
That is a beautiful set! Congratulations Icon_thumbup

Looks like a nightmare to work on though Icon_crazy

I agree with Joe on the finish. that original finish still looks pretty good. I just got a 38-4 that had a finish very similiar to yours and I tried a product called "Restore-A-Finish" on it and I was totally suprised on how well it worked!! It was a lot easier than refinishing as well. Just a thought.
