Great looking pinfire there! when I can afford it I want one "or 2" of those, classy looking things
You should clean it up and take it out shooting!! Loading your own shells shouldent be so much of a pain!!
Im no expert here but as of late I have been really looking at pinfires I see them go for 100 - 800$$ and I have really no idea "aside from condition" what makes some that look very nice go for cheap while some real crappy ones go for alot??
Either/or
Your pinnie looks like it may clean up to be something special!
Does the mechanism work??

The small caliber pinfire revolvers that I own have relatively weak hammers and I was unable to get them to fire the primer on my homemade shells. At some point I intend to try making a new shell with a square recess for the upside down #11 percussion cap because I think that the cylindrical recess in my first attempt soaked up too much of the hammer blow. On the larger caliber pinfires that I have owned, the hammers were much stronger and enough to fire the primers. It is important that the pins are copper or brass to avoid damaging the hammers.
Locally the small ones sell for $75 to $100 unless they are particularly spectacular in some way.
cheers mooncoon
i know re-blueing makes them worth less , but i want it to look like a new gun
i payed $250.00 for all 3 of the guns , so i am sure ill make some $$ on them if i wanted to sell them
i am now done reblueing the 9mm pin fire looks like new . it cleaned up real nice , no deep pits , i have the 9mm pin fire reloading kit maybe ill give it a try.
for the other 2 32rim fires , maybe ill post them forsale for $100 +- each what do you think there worth? (all i wanted was the 9mm pin fire when i got them)
the pin fire has a broken triger return spring

Looks great, you did a good job!
Ya this is a good Thread for people wondering if they should Refinish there Antiques.
In the case of this pin fire its gone from a rough looking gun to a very nice looking unit id say .
Not all guns values are hurt from a nice clean up.
High end guns or History Related pieces unless in very rough condition should be Left alone tho.
Good job Starpuss!

i uploaded new pic's seeing the old ones did not work no more.
o ya... i sold the gun over a year ago Local for 450.00 then the guy resold it for ??? then i seen it at a local gun show for $650.00 witch then it sold for that..
i did try to shoot it. but like most old pin fires the hammer was weak but it still did the job!
