mrerick,

Thanks for replying so quickly. I believe there is very little original finish left on this pistol. I'm more interested in making this a family heirloom than ever selling it, so would I be "ruining" this pistol by having it refinished? And thanks for the tip about the ammo. I'm pretty sure I've never fired high-powered loads though it, but I'll look for low-power rounds from now on.

Anyone have any thoughts about the grips? My luck has never been that good, so I expect they are reproductions. And are there any parts that should be marked that I didn't get pictures of? The broken Bolt Hold-Open Spring was not numbered so replacing it shouldn't detract from the pistol should it? Thanks.

Regards,

Sapper
