Interesting story with this call.  I gave this Clint Corder slate and Bill Lyman Purpleheart to my dad as a gift for the start of the 2014 Florida turkey season.  If my memory serves me correctly, I believe it is a Jatoba pot.  Well as you can see it has been hunted as hard as can be with chips and scratches everywhere.  It has over 30 gobblers to its name in the states of FL, GA, and AL, and sounds even better now than the day he got it.  Well today, he gave it back to me, and said it was my turn to put another 30 on it.  I though about sending it back to Clint after the season, and having it fixed up, but then I thought...nah...it looks perfect the way it is.

Very nice John!  I agree that you should leave it as it is.

That's pretty cool. I agree with Seth, leave it be. It tells a story.

Leave it as is. The scratches and chips give it character.

That call has character to it and each part of that character is a memory you helped make for your father. Leave it be and add some character of your own to it.
