The butt plate needed some attention after 115 years. Lots of little dings: So it got some fill and shaping:

Here it is on the bench with the colour application still wet: Hanging overnight at the bench: The next day it is out in the sun for a few hours and then Claudio will set it aside for a few days. Later this week it will be ready for it's first coat of finish.

I enjoy your posts on this Lindner more than any others on the BBS at this time! Thanks for taking the time to share.

What do you mean by bleaching the wood?
Also thank you for posting such a worth project. I'm always checking the blog often to see if you have added new material.

Beautiful gun! Oxalic acid. Cleans stains, particularly those caused by iron, without bleaching out the wood.

Thanks for the updates cback. I keep wondering about the oval stock inlay, only a curiosity. The two retaining pins on it look surprisingly long. Can you tell if the corresponding pin inletting is square to the full depth?

Can you tell if the corresponding pin inletting is square to the full depth? I can't answer that Craig but I can tell you Claudio pointed out that the oval pins should not be tapered like that. Increases the ease with which they can break free and slide out. As we saw by the condition at acquisition. It's interesting to me how highly regarded Lindner guns are (as are numerous other makes) and yet how easily a skilled craftsman like Claudio can see elements that could have been better. And I don't mean things that would have added dozens of hours to production. Just simple, straightforward things like the oval pins.
