This pistol first registered in 1820 and became gun maker to his Majesty George IV, H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, the Emperor of Russia & the King of Bavaria.

That’s some pretty new rust
-
Scratching the rust with a knife. Please!¬ That's as far as I watched it.
-
I'm sure there are other ways to remove rust that don't involve a pen knife

I already know that this gun was used in 1824. I just wasn't keeping track of the time-line regarding when it was in service. This was the same time when our American ancestors were traveling further westwards into states like California, Washington, and Oregon. They first started traveling from the coastal Virginia. Alaska and Hawaii weren't admitted to the union until 1959. It's all about the gunslingers of the western frontier. Am I speaking of outlaws like Jesse James and Billy the kid? 🔊

Lots of fresh rust on that. And as for the war medals...

Почистил, молодец. А заворонить? А испытать?
-
Amazing...almost magical the way you did that. You must have gone to the best conservation university to learn those techniques and how to use tools with such precision...not to mention the chemical expertise. And saving that rust...magnifico!

При такой ржавчине, такая хорошая резьба на болтах, сам состарил сам расцарапал😂

Just Starting of the video the box front is The Dyers’ Company slogan is one of the ancient Livery Companies of the City of London. da gloriam deo, interesting video 👍
-
Great video. You missed an opportunity to highlight the engravings.
-
Я не видел чтоб все подвижные элименты смазывались хоть чуток, и заворонить эго нужно было в любом случае.
-
Por haber estado en una caja debería estar mejor conservado.

This type of firearm was popular in North America from 1830 until the American Civil War.

Great beautiful gun , you never should sand the engravings , no cold bluing, no metal conservation , you should never ever sand or clean Up old coins and medals they Lost all numismatic value, the gun it self were really rusty but It was in great fine codition I believe and no ofense my friend this is not a restoration work it looks more as a cleaning one. Best regards , great job. Just for curiosity what is the caliber of the gun? And if you had any chance to fire It? Thank you .
-
No bluing or painting?
-
I love the patterns all over it. And great work.
-
Bit overdone with the gun oil & the cold blue, otherwise a pretty good job – I guess…
-
Great work on a great old gun! Cheers! 😁👍🛠️🔧

Wonderful, very beautiful ❤
