Hello! Today, the restoration of a french double-barreled pocket pistol. A sample of the mid-19th century. The condition is terrible, everything is rusty, the mechanisms do not work. But I will restore everything. This is an interesting project, but for a review. No functionality is required. The item is intended for a museum. I will remove the rust, fix the mechanisms and make a new handle. Let’s go!
Firstly I put all the parts in a rust remover. The previous handle was most likely made of horn, but there was practically nothing left of it. After cleaning the metal parts, I washed everything and dried it. The remaining plaque was removed using a soft metal brush.
Next, I began to restore the barrel mechanism. (Apparently someone tried to brew everything roughly earlier, but it didn’t work out). I removed the extra seams, sanded the parts, and removed the irregularities. Next, I prepared the surface of the future soldering sites and soldered everything with tin-lead solder. Everything is working fine.
The next mechanism is triggers. The condition is poor, rust and time have practically ruined a lot. I made two pairs of new springs because the old ones were broken.
The handle of the pocket pistol was made of dry beech wood. I covered it with stain and linseed oil. I applied some decor after assembly.
Furthermore, I did not do the test, because this ITEM IS INTENDED FOR VIEWING IN A MUSEUM.
Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!
