Ken, Good start! Be carefull about the torch, You can burn steel and make it worthless although you sound like you know what you are about...

The two tone in the areas you mentioned will look great.

The side plate might look odd bead blasted, It leaves a textured finish and to keep it looking original a softer finish might look better.

The engraving sounds really nice if you have someone handy that could do a good job without investing too much.....This would be the ideal pistol to add a trick or two to.

Still having no luck with the breech block? What did Tom Heller say? Jerry Burney
