Cooey 75... REVIVED!! (PICS)

[QuietWhisper]

A buddy of mine got this old Cooey 75 from a coworker and he gave it to me to bring to life! I really wish I had taken before pics it would have been more impressive. The gun was beat up and rusted I believe these guns were Made In Canada in the early 1900's I think. I think he will like my work.

Nice looking makeover. The 75 was produced from 1939 to 1967.

They are great guns, and to be enjoyed. I have to say I prefer the original look. Are you sure you wouldn't consider re-bluing it? That look, is something to be acquired, and I'm just not diggin it.
