It must depend on the era or something. Because some were roll stamped.
I agree that this gun is a great candidate for some restoration work. |
Any suggestions on where I could have it restored? I'm in the St. Louis, MO area. Thanks.

It's a great gun to restore if you:
A) are a gunsmith/stockmaker and can do your own work for free or B) don't mind spending a lot of money on a gun that you will keep but have no particular plans on recouping your money Still...I think a lot depends on the bore condition. |

this is one of the restoration experts often recommended here is Brad Bachelder - expensive but good at it http://mastergunmakers.com/ another option is to get the wood right with a cleaned up buttplate speak to Brian Dudley about getting that done. I would have the barrels checked out first- if they are pitted beyond use, have loose ribs or damaged in some way, any other restoration will not make sense. There are a few guys this board recommends for getting the color right on the barrels - Brad Bachelder (link above) is one and Dale Edmunds, Kansas City, 816 444 2040 is another whose great work shows up here often - a search here on any of the names above will show you example of the work they do if you get the wood and barrels done, you will need to decide if you want to spend the money to have the engraving recut and the case coloring redone. |
