What shall I do with my 1916 Navy (besides selling it to you :)

Hi Mishima,
You have my deepest sympathy. As your possession of the piece is illegal in France, you have few practical options. One that does spring to mind, however, could be possible if you have a friend or relative in Germany.

Owning such a piece is not illegal in Germany and there are a great many competent gunsmiths who can help you with your rust problem, as well as supplying any missing parts.

As for shooting the piece, if you do so, please, before shooting it, replace all of the serial numbered parts in the toggle train and the grips with new so that should something go amiss, it won't hurt the value of your gun quite so much.

Would be very interested in knowing more about the holster.
