Beautiful work. Maybe I missed this, how long to bring it back to life ?

Almost a year give or take…thank you!

Almost a year give or take…thank you!

I've been quietly watching this thread, and enjoyed it all. Very well documented and inspiring for that matter. I'm not going to refinish a classic, but will try a few things on my own now.
Excellent result, thanks for sharing.

Without being disrespectful, might I ask the cost of a project like this if it was being done for a customer? Absolutely beautiful work.

So that’s it… think you get the picture….no pun intended
Probably a little fancier than original but that’s alright with me…

sorry, I have no idea…I had no need to keep track of time
But difficult to say as they’re all a bit different

Your work is exquisite.

Thank you sir….

Truly exceptional workmanship, pretty little gun. Not familiar with Parkers would the frame be small like 0 Lc Smith in a small gauge gun?

I believe 28 bores were made in 0 and 00 frame…not sure how that compares with Smith guns
