Hi Richard.
Ohhhh....that is a great looking Torador !!!! What I really like about this one is the decorated IRON mounts. When decorated, I find the iron mounts more attractive than brass mounts. And combined with the bone inlays........wonderful looking. That entire gun should clean up very nice. And, I'll bet the iron mounts make a great looking patina after cleaning. I don't blame you for keeping this one. Congratulations. Nice aquisition to say the least. Please post this one again after clean up. I would be anxious to see it again.
By the way, I hope it's OK if I borrowed the one photo above showing the pan cover. I will eventually send it to my gunsmith to copy in making a new one for my barrel (that's missing). Good detail for him to copy in this photo.
Rick.
