Repair of Deep Pitting

I remember that one, but it wasn't mine.

Here's a scan of the old girl's best side. The major pitting was on the right side, and a restorer had to remove quite a bit of metal to make it presentable. The side plate is a replacement, the original had little or no shape left. I also replaced a number of smaller parts, like the trigger, take down lever and safety lever. At that time I was looking for a shooter arty, so the technical shape was more important than the looks (it also helped to make it 'affordable').
