Yes, I bought one like this in 1993, and it is still in the wrap stashed away today.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

It was between two and three hundred, I don't remember exactly, but adjust that for inflation and it comes up a bit.

Watched someone attempt to return a rifle sold in the wrap that had been removed from the wrap, the shop said no. The customer did not understand removing from the wrap really affected the value.
