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.
