Collector grade question

Alvin, have you considered having the broken part repaired/restored by a competent gunsmith or restorer of fine firearms? Thor or policeluger come to mind... that would retain your originality as much as possible... and depending on the kind of breakage, the repair might be invisible... just a thought...

If you shoot at an outdoor range where large magnum handguns are fired, it is quite common to see these shooters wearing gloves. They wear them to aid in the recoil "pain", not to preserve the finish, but gloves are gloves.

The safety lever is a little bit hard. This lever has a flat spring in the front, which is thin and fragile, and it broke there.

Since it's unnumbered, I will try to find a replacement first.
