Hi folks, picked it up at the CLA gamefair for a VERY good price. It's quite plain but interesting. It has the very clever platelock mechanism patented by the Langs in or around 1880. It has original damascus barrels and it has been re-proofed this year...had to snap it up....pictures of it and my work stripping it down...fascinating engineering piece tbh...







Striking up the barrels before the Copper sulphate bath for 30 minutes. They came up really well, small amount of rust, should not be that visible when it's done...



After the bath and wash off. The Copper Sulphate has brought out the twist in the barrels. Just what we want! smile
