This came to me on Monday,

Pietta, 1860, proofed in 1975.

While handling it and logging it into my inventory, I realized I had owned this one in 1975!

It came home a bit tired, loose arbor and bunged up cones but both are fixable.

I tightened up the arbor and ordered new cones.

Next will be the smooth stags I have come to prefer and maybe a hacksaw for the barrel.

As it progresses, I will post photos.

I think it looks better now.

Next, some range time.
