Silver Plating Question - OT

Griff · Post by **Griff** » Sat Jan 26, 2008 4:54 pm

Found a Colt 2nd Series 1851 that sorta matches matches one I bought from a fellow Leverginner. AFAIK, these ALL had silver plated square-back trigger guard and backstraps. It was the standard verson, no box, etc, but looked... except it appears someone stripped & re-blued those pieces; and not a real good job, either.

I'm thinking of making an offer but have idea of what it costs to refinish those parts properly with a factory like re-plating.

Any clues?

I have never used them but I have seen a few guns done that were beautiful. There prices seem reasonable.

Thanks, I almost thought I'd won the Cadillac for havin' the 1st question that the forum didn't have an answer for! I'll be calling then on Monday.
