Rare and unusual?

[G.T.]

In the Luger drum repair business, you get to see a lot of rare stuff, both from the inside and out? Well, this past week, I got to work on what I think might be a pretty rare item in an already rare field?
The drum I am referring to, had considerable corrosion and was a dull and dirty silver color that I attributed to wear, use, and neglect! Perfect for me to repair! It had a few issues as it was worse on the inside then on the outside! The main spring was solid rust and broken into about a dozen pieces.. But the feature that started to strike me as unusual was the light silver color that was consistent both inside and outside all the way thru the drums construction? From previous experience with plating, I have to believe the whole drum, was factory plated with "Zinc" maybe in an effort to combat the corrosion that eventually brought this drum down? Anyway, it was neat as all hell, and restored nicely to a working drum! Cool stuff, just thought you'd all like to know... best, til….lat'r....GT...
