G Grade Lifter

I am working on a G grade lifter to give to my son as a Christmas gift. The enclosed pictures show Lou Rotelli’s work on the barrels. I think they look great! Lou has also helped me by cleaning the locks and making internal parts needed. He is very accommodating to help get your gun where you want it. He has proven to be reasonable and timely with his work.

Is that # 78013?
How would I know that?

The serial number is 23089. I acquired the gun from a nice fellow from Baltimore.

David, Thanks for posting these photos. The barrels look gorgeous and looks to be good quality Damascus! I had the gun for many years and always wondered about restoring it, but in the end decided to pass on it. I had no idea what beauty was lying below the surface. Thankfully you came along, saw the potential and rescued it. I can't wait to see the finished project. Keep me posted.

Thanks Jerry, I will keep you apprised of the process. I am very pleased with Lou’s work on the barrels.
