I pretty much live at the gun shop anyway. Now I just have to go check out the double gun rack, as well as the used revolver cabinet.
And you win the bet, but it didn't last until the end of week. I don't know about "beautiful" but it does have what we on the revolver boards call "honest wear." Most of the blueing is gone, and it looks like someone tried to clean the patina off, but it just reminds me of a lot of guns the old timers used when I was a youngster. It's rough outside, but mechancially it seems sound, and the bores are bright.
A few pictures, a little better than the cell phone ones.
The wood really looks nice from this side.
It won't win a beauty contest, that's for sure, but who knows. Maybe it will become a project gun somewhere down the line.
