Happiness is a new gun 2

[jeepster09]

I wouldn't change a thing on that jeep. If you remove the patina collectors won't give you top dollar

But it's his gun, he can do whatever he wants. I agree the patina is really nice.

I stole it for only a grand....when done i'm betting i'll get 5 or 6 hundred for it. Generally it has worked out for me....buy HIGH and sell LOW.

Hmmmmm green!

Who's Mares leg is that? I have a Rossi, I was just playing with it 5 minutes ago. Really like em, hard to shoot but loads of fun.

Patina? Ya’ll must be liberals. Ya’ll come up with new words for everything these days.

There’s a guy on youtube that takes guns like that and fixes them up. Pretty neat to see them go from “patina” to decent looking, functioning guns aftetwards.

You don't think patina is decent looking? Hmmmm? Beauty is to the eye and sometimes hands (if they're real lucky) of the beholder.

That's not patina, that's called a battleworn finish. And a really well done one, too.

Me and my buddy were in his back yard, digging a hole to put his dog in. We unearthed a cap gun revolver in simular shape. He said he remember burying that thing about 45 years earlier.

The dog was not alive by the way.

A little Flitz and cold blue will bring it up to NRA Very Good.

Hey jeep, I'm sure you're old enough to remember, "That's my Line". And my MO.

You're right, battleworn would be a better way to state it. Still though the collector's want them as found.

I lost a cap gun like that about 60 years ago. Wasn't until much later that it dawned on me that my brother probably took it.
