Default Joseph Lang restoration complete

Just finished up restoring a 12 bore Joseph Lang hammer gun. The gun was in very poor condition when I bought it. The wood and metal were in "black" condition, with everything covered in some sort of grime, rust, etc. The wood was completely stripped, oil removed and refinished. Forend had to be replaced with new wood. Barrels polished and refinished. All other metal parts I re-cased and/or blackened where appropriate. One hammer was an old replacement and had to be reshaped and engraved to match the remaining original. New hinge pin made, along with several screws.


I also restored a vintage oak and leather case to go along with the gun.
