Restoration worth the price?

Russell,

For $ 1500...I think you did very well.

At my local gun shop in Walnut Creek, CA, you would pay over $ 1200 for a junky, doggy, mis-matched Arty shooter...usually with a broken TD lever spring to boot.

May I ask :

1. How is your bore condition ?

2. Could you post a photo of the bottom of the wooden magazine. It appears your magazine may be a Swiss Bern wooden luger...just would like to see the bottom to confirm this.

Congratulations on a great looking piece !

p.s. Regarding the e-Bay holster link. That same seller, LF member Randy Bessler, also has this very nice repro holster FS on his web site. You might look at this one as you could eventually get it set up with a woodend stock and straps, etc.
