I know. My kids broke the good digital camera, leaving me the old one which is pretty bad. I'll see what I can do. Other than a "dent" (very old) into the checkering of about 1/8"X1/8" or so, a bit of a brown patina bloom on the receiver, and some unfortunate spots of bluing loss on the barrel from surface rust, the gun appears pretty pristine to my untrained eye. I have done nothing to it since finding it in the back of the closet except take paper towels and Rusty Duck to it. Heartily, but I've used no "abrasives" like steel wool. The gun has been fired less than a box worth in the last half-century. (I recall shooting it as a kid, and it kicks like a mule. My father wasn't even all that fond of it as a shooting piece. I think he purchased it "just because".)
