FE Golden Gun

Hi everyone. Trust all is well. Just to say thanks to the various members that I am working with at present on a couple of projects and looking for some advice from members on the FE Golden Gun. As a few of you know I have a complete GG but also have a spare GG which I picked up cheap. The spare one has a couple of issues which are now on my radar to resolve. The issue is that the GG was originally issued as a dual signature edition and hence it comes with a dual signature outer cardboard box, a dual signature silver box and a dual signature silver authenticity certificate. The bad news is that the strip that sticks to the display case with the dual signatures is missing. In the meantime I habe managed to source a new sticky strip but its only a LE version, not the dual signature strip which it should have. Its also missing its trigger but a kind member on this forum is currently constructing me a replacement one which I will have gold plated. Therefore I see my options as follows but open to advice from members.
1. Leave it as is and just display it.
2. Try and obtain a new dual signature strip either from old stock or have one made up ( i wouldnt know how to by the way)
3. Discard the outer boxes that confirm its a dual signature edition and just have it as a normal edition complete with its sticky strip.
4. Just break it and sell it all for spares as everything is in mint condition and no bits left as spares for future generations at present.
5. All other opinions welcome.

Kind regards
Mark

    Option 6...
    Once you have the trigger gold plated, sell it whole to a member here looking for a display GG who isn't bothered about those other issues...

    I am located in Lancashire in the UK. Its cold but great, better known as the grim north. For any UK based southerners reading this I dont mean the watford gap, I mean the real North, the bit after Birmingham if you keep going for a few more hours but before Jockland. ta

    If all else fails I'd be interested in the pen and lighter if you end up selling it in bits.

    I'm pretty sure I have an SE outer sleeve and inner box tucked away somewhere.

    Thanks everyone for the offers of help and 7 offers to buy my GG but I am keeping it. A kind member on this forum is currently making me a new trigger and a signature strip so it will soon be ready for display in my house. Thanks for all of the advice and various offers to buy boxes / sleeves / display stands / placques etc etc. Its amazing what bits / spares members have when a booty call goes out. I dont suppose any of you have a Pelican 1750 long gun case stashed away do you ?
