    As a mechanic who has brought several brake calipers back to life, which other techs gave up on, I have deep respect for your undertaking. From experience, I know that, with some exceptions, most machinery that has fallen to decay can, with patience, experience, the right methods, a good facility and the right materials, be brought back to life.
    Incidentally, I'm guessing that a 111-year-old pistol has GOT to be worth a few buck$. 😊

    I used to have a little Beretta .25 that looked just like your Colt. Perhaps one was a copy of the other? Anyway, I bought it off a guy in Colorado in the '70s. I think I paid $30.00 for it. Then I sold it a short time later. There was an old abandoned combine along the side the barn in farmhouse we rented that we used to use for plinking. A .22 LR had no problem penetrating the sheet metal sides of that rusted out old machine but that .25 barely dented it. It was cute as a bug's ear tho. Thanks for sparking the memory of younger days.

    Magnificent and careful work. Really old and rusty gun. I have seen a video of pre-mannered artificially aged guns with ferric chloride, lean paint or some other chemistry. The work here is real and very neatly done, I am impressed with the work. The author of the video works carefully without to hurry and show respect to the old weapon. This is rare and only masters with gunpowder in their blood do it. It fully shows the technology and is very useful for beginners. Thank you, it was a pleasure for me.

    A couple years ago I found a a pistol hanging by a nail on a tree. I went to the house on the property and asked about it. The lady that answered the door said it was her husbands dads gun. $25 later I had it home,it’s about the same condition as this Colt. It turned out to be a Ruger Standard or mark 1 . .22 semi automatic pistol. I would really like to restore it,pretty rough though.
