Will post pics when I'm further along. I love the craftmanship of these purpose made guns. The dilemma I'm currently considering is the best way to "conserve" the pan, nitre blued parts, and case hardened parts. They are covered with the typical oiled rust "patina". I am concerned too much handling or rust conversion methods will dull the already weak Parker Bros inscription or make the outside just appear to be in the white. The case hardening colors on unexposed areas still carry the original colors which I would like to keep if possible. All the visible screws look as if they have maybe been removed once. Any words of wisdom appreciated.
