How/who to reblue a Navy shooter

Andy, where did you find your toggle pin? Are you getting it from CDS? If so, please tell how you managed that.

Thanks

Charlie

Charlie,
yes, CDS.
They ship the pin to a German address.
I've learned if the part(s) are worth more than $100, then an import permit and paperwork is needed. As far I know, for a simple pin worth just a few bucks, an import licence is not required.

I'm working on Andy's grips now, and they are a real challange

I received the grips today by mail. The recheckering and restoration is outstanding! Excellent craftmenship. They really look great now!

Thank you so much!

Are you dining out on your grips or did you mean "restoration"

The original checkering was almost gone and two pieces of wood were chiped off, too.
The result is great! I didn't put the restored grips back on the gun, yet. I'll safe them and use aftermarket grips instead.

A cute video that has been around . Still amusing. Glad to see the change in #14 but you missed it in #8. Keep plugging away

I forgot the markings, the markings are:
Eagle 63, eagle 63, eagle.
