I know you have all heard it before but Thor is the man.

Just got my 1920 (Alphabet)Commercial back from Thor and I could not believe its transformation. It was pretty sad when I sent it off. Most of the original finish was off and there was moderate pitting, not deep but in several areas. No stawing left either. The best thing was that it had all matching numbers. Thanks to Thor it looks brand new. I went for the DWM blue with fire blued parts,standard stawing on the appropriate parts and the new spring kit.

Thanks also to Hugh Clark who expertly repaired and rechecked the original, worn and cracked grips. Hugh also expertly replaced the worn barrel with a very good 9mm Simson replacement barrel.

While this project was not inexpensive I enjoyed bringing at $400 "dog" back to life. It is a great shooter and will serve on for many more years.
