That handle is very blocky. I’d thin it out by half, makes your finger grooves larger, so they meet and you have a better grip. Thats my 2 cents. Good restoration otherwise.
Restaurar no es lo mismo que renovar. Al realizar una restauración es primordial conservar lo que los restauradores llamamos "pátina", ya que en ella reside una gran parte del valor histórico de la pieza. Lamentablemente en este caso la pátina ha sido retirada completamente.
Elle a perdue une bonne partie de sa valeur. Était-il besoin de démonter la totalité? Les rivets d'origine ? Pour les remplacer par du métal neuf. En tant que collectionneur je n'approuve pas du tout😢
There weren't many cartridge loading pistols around in 1850, was it later converted into a cartridge gun, I know they did a lot of that in the 1860's and 70"s,
how is it save tho claim, the gunt in the museum was van goghs? they don´t have a serialnumber and the gun doesn´t look stored well or seriously after his suezide. So how can it be proved that it was his?
Io le guancette le avrei prima tagliate col il seghetto per poi sgrossarle con la carteggiatrice. Meglio ancora, lasciare le sue originali. Comunque, ben fatto, ottimo lavoro. Complimenti.
Could you explain the difference to a newbie? I'm fascinated by the way old weapons tell the story of human history -- I'd think conserving a gun that was unique to its time and place is more important than making it "like new" again. How do gun historians trace the provenance of a gun? Can its past be preserved while putting it back in peak (or at least better) condition? My father came home from WWII with a chrome luger he said he'd bought off a German "soldier". I later learned that chrome lugers were only issued to Nazi officers, but by that time Dad was deep into dementia and that gun's particular story was lost.
Did I miss the restorer cleaning up the barrel's interior? If the little gun is going to be fired I'd think the barrel's "insides" would have received serious attention...
@@Thor555555 Agreed! You'd need to make your own loads. Another concern is how well the cylinder lines up with the barrel when the trigger is pulled. That poor gun has had a rough life -- I'd want a serious gunsmith to go over it with an engineer's eye before pulling the trigger and trusting I'll still have a working hand after it fires.
Hello. I had a similar restoration project. I found an old civil war Remington New Model Army revolver frame, hammer and barrel along with some internal parts at an antique store for $45. Someone had already removed all the rust when I got it. I fit a Uberti NMA cylinder, bolt, and spring kit as well as a Pietta NMA hammer, hand, base pin and loading lever...and timed the action! I then antiqued the bare steel with a combination of Plum Brown and Super Blue solutions. I finished it up last fall and took it out shooting! Everything works perfectly...and it shoots pretty well despite its heavily pitted barrel. It was originally built in 1863 according to its serial number. I bet it hadn't been fired in more than a hundred years...until last fall that is! It felt great to get the old war horse up and running again.
