Since I'm messing with strictly shooters, I'll be attempting to hang on for more than one learning curve--checkering and refinishing. It will be a personal challenge for now, but if I can get a grip on the techniques and sufficient number of details for these activities, maybe I can do some of this stuff for others as well.
Yes, Ron, TIG on premises; and I have at least two colleagues with younger, steadier hands and eyes that can still focus! I'll definitely be doing the prep, fitting, and fixture-making, if not the entire jobs. (Another is to restore the stock lug on my 1917 DWM LP.08.) I've been welding/fabricating since 1978.
I'm lacking reference books to research the mfg. date for this pistol; li'l help, please?
