Thats exactly right Jerry ... It has never seen a lick of solder in its life.
So why the brass plate ??? Was it to deceive and get extra money in a hard sell ??? Were these some of the things running through Gudabeg's mind the second the plate fell off ?? He had already read that they should have been brazed on in Phoenix so why wasn't his ??.
My mentioning that IMO it was an original Dutch pistol was said to alleviate my fellow member Gudabeg's mind in case he was thinking that he had been taken by a complete 'fake' ... something that seems to happen a lot more recently.
I felt his pain and tried to ease it if I could Ed ... I would do the same for any member here.
As for soldering here are the temperatures we're talking about
:
I would go the Pliobond 20 route as the only one who will know is you AND there is no heat involved with all the additional problems that that can cause. By the way no one solders an expensive firearm for free and indeed in Canada the jeweler/plumber would require a firearms license.
Re-glue it and be done with it knowing that YOU fixed it.
Good luck Gudabeg
