This is a 1956 WFL marching shell. I took all the ahrdware off to get a better photo. You can't really tell, but its damaged on the surface only fairly bad. What I would like to know is the shell composition and any recommendations on refinishing. If it is mahogany like I think I was considering fine sanding and restaining. Would that lower its already not high value?
