Refinish

My 1903 is refinished.

I had it done.

I did not hurt the value.

It's an anonymous 1913 made .32 with no particular provenance.

It was ROUGH when I got it.  You can tell how rough when you see how light many of the markings are after polishing; and theres still some pitting in evidence.  Previous owners must have really hated it.  I used to have pics from before, but they've gone missing.

Nearly Gone Pony

I was hesitant to buy it initially, but the internals were pristine.

It shoots quite well though.

    Nothin' wrong with refinishing it. The only time I get mad about refinishing (especially with sporting guns) is when a really nice refinish gets passed off as an original.

    With military guns, I prefer to leave the history as it is, unless it's exceptionally common or already a complete goner.
