Hey there Taras!!!!

What an absolutely beautiful restoration, and on one of these intriguing guns with so much history. I agree with Dom, it is wonderful to see these worn old weapons returned as much as possible to original state. It truly is a fine line as I admit to being one who likes weapons which are dark in patination and wearing the years of history, but that is mostly because too often collectors and dealers overclean and spoil that effect. Thats is clearly not the case here so my views are considerably altered!.........very nicely done and thank you so much for sharing this.
This old pistol has exciting new history adding to the nicely preserved old history kept well in place.

All the best,
Jim
