Salvaged 1920 Double Date
I recently picked up this "parts" pistol that was on GB. I was quite pleased with the way the pitted parts cleaned up. I left the toggle assembly in the original rust blue, and used several applications of cold blue on the rest, which matched up pretty well. I enjoy cleaning up mis-treated pistols such as this and restoring them to use again.
It is "matching" in all respects except for the bbl/receiver/sear, and the # on the safety which had been broken, and the grips. As is sometimes the case, Murphy had a hand here, as the grips are numbered "95" and "should" have been "59."
I'm looking forward to taking it to the range as soon as my magazine arrives.
