The other question you have to ask yourself is how much are you willing to spend on it. I would guess to clean up the metal, remark it and finish refinish it your a grand or two.Bob
Hi Bob, that’s what I was guessing around 2K. I’m alright with that, I see it as preservation keeping another 1890 around for another 100 years, because if I don’t do it the next step for this gun is either to be parted out or recycled like an ordinary piece of steel. Also as you said they should be able to tell me how it was originally configured, that would be great!
