Something special, I think!

Bob,

You certainly know how to present a conversation piece

My first thoughts when I quickly browsed the photos was something in the line of 'that refinisher should get this stuck where the sun don't shine'. The side plate is a modern reproduction, btw.

The frame modification says enough, and I really appreciate your thoughts on having it restored to a better level (although improving on the current state shouldn't be too difficult

).

Let's hope we'll see this pistol returned to a shape that is much closer to it's original one.

Interesting gun!

The top of the receiver looks strange to me, not what I would expect on a 1902?

The gun has a mix of fonts on barrel frame and rear of the toggle ?

I like the lower frame much better than the upper and I might suggest that the original two half's might of been separated at some point in time.

Just thoughts for conversation, I have only seen one in person so I am by no means sure that there is any problems.
