At this time I would decline tackling this repair. By the time it’s soldered back down, polished, and re-blued it might be cheaper to buy a set of repro barrels that’s floating around for sale and have it fitted and renumbered to match the gun.

We just bought a laser welder for the shop and are in the process of getting it setup. I expect to use it more for filling in pitting and welding barrel hooks, but it might be useful to weld the seams on something like this for added insurance.
