From the ashes
I brought this red 9 at a gunshow last year for $220 so you can imagen what it looked like. Even though I know it was probably worth more before I started I enjoyed messing with it. By the way I tried a new method to fill up the pits on this one and it is much less noticable after reblueing. After messing with these things and seeing how much time restoration takes I dont see how guys like Thor can afford to eat on what they charge

I love"Red Nines" but I fear that yours might not be kosher. I think the grips are from a later era and branded. Of course my wife often reminds me that I don't know as much about anything as I think I do so you might be good.
