Yes it would be a good idea to have it looked at, as can be seen in your photos there is some barrel misalignment and possible cylinder rubbing on the water table all detract from "perfect" condition.
Use coconut oil (I was told Frog's Lube but we've since learned that it's the same stuff but with a anti-coagulant added to it) and scrape away any rust and dirt with a five cent piece (nickel and only a nickel).
Pretty much. If a collector wanted a new gun he can get one from uberti, but they want a well over 100 yo gun and all 100 yo grey that comes with it.Why does removing the patina devalue the pistol? Is the patina like a badge of honor proving legimate aging?
@Choctaw… there is no markings of any kind on the leather holster. I even looked inside of it and all over…. nothing!
