I also posted this over on Jan Stills forum. I think you guys have seen this pistol Briefly before.

I have this one more pistol that I am bebating trying to get back into shape. But my initial thoughts are that it would be more than it is worth. I dont want to part it out if anything I would keep it as a representative piece.

#1.The Barrel is bulged and the rifling is completly gone. Is there anyway this barrel can be sleeved? Probably not but If I could I would like to keep the original barrel with the gun.

#2. The extractor and spring are GONE How hard would it be to get a proper 1900 part for this?

#3. The safety just flaps in the wind.

#4. The tension pin for the safety lever is GONE

#5. The grips are almost completely worn smooth and there are letters carved into the left grip.

It is a damn shame that this pistol was neglected as bad as it was and whats even worse is that this is a completely matched pistol including the grips.

What to do ?
