I posted about this old thing in the gunsmithing section recently.
This is a rusty old revolver I tried to clean up for a friend. Someone gave it to him, he took it apart and couldn't get it back together again. I cleaned the rust off and reassembled it. The finish is nearly all gone and there is widespread pitting on the outside only. It's shoots good enough for what it is.
A couple questions:
Anyone know how old it is?
Any idea as to value? I thought about offering to buy or trade him out of it, but it can't be worth much in this condition.
On the barrel: "GABILONDO & Cia ELGOIBAR (ESPANA)" and on the other side: "ACERO DE ALTA RESISTENCIA"
I know, it's old rusty junk, but I think it was worth salvaging.
