Thanks for posting this Kirk. And thanks for putting up a few more 'before' photos. I only had a couple that you had emailed me at the beginning of the project and they were not as "good" as these ones.
The repros can really clean up well to make very nice looking guns This one has a gold inlayed "2" on the trigger guard. I guess it was number 2 of a two gun set. I wonder where number 1 is. ??

A lot of these have very nice wood and this is a great example. I once saw one where the engraving had been chased to deepen it the case color redone using the bone charcoal method and the stock refinished and the gun was fabulous looking.

The original checkering on this gun was a real mess. It cleaned up nicely though.

It seems Brian forgot to put one of the triggers back in during reassembly. Seriously, one wicked nice repro.
