Outstanding find!!!
Whatever you decide to do, you have a very neat piece of history. If I were you, I think I would spend as much as I could afford in stages to bring it back to it's original beauty. PopPop |

I would take time and build it. What a find and just imagine when it is finished! To me it is a piece of history and a once in a lifetime chance to own such a beauty even though it will cost. Compare it's value when finished to what a similar gun would cost on the market if one was available. If replacement cost of a similar gun is much more than the restoration cost, I would say it is a worthwhile project, provided the finished gun would have the value to justify the project. I know you guys know what those numbers would be, what do you think? Please share your thoughts, I would love to know what you think for all of us who can only dream of owning such a piece.

I would get some replacement barrels and just clean up the rest of the gun. It deserves to be brought back to shooting condition.

Brian, My reaction to this thread when I read it was what a find. I didn't have much emotion except a good laugh when I saw your " I think I can bring back the barrels with microwelding" photo.
However, last night I had several horrible nightmares that my Parkers had developed horrible bulging spongecake rust under the bluing that would come out in wet gobs. Good luck with your project. Erick |

If you were in the Deep South, you could try duct tape.

I would do that barrel like a pups tail. Take a little off at a time until I thought it looked good.

I have seen some barrels that were pretty bad before but I beleave those are the worst I have ever seen. Even duct tape won't help. What a shame.

Mills: I saw a photo in one of Dean's post where he has a set of barrels taped. The New England folks are learning from us southern boys
