Hey guys, so my buddy brought this revolver over, said do you want a project, he thinks I'm a gunsmith. It's a '68 colt detectives special .38 snubbie. It was also loaded. It looks HORRIBLE! More rust than bluing on this bad boy! It didn't open, didn't fire, didn't rotate the cylinder, until I got ahold of it. Now it's working "flawlessly" although it didn't fire the rounds it had in it. The internals sound good but I'm positive they need work. Now should I have this gun brought back to life? Should I do blue or nickel? Pearl grips? I think the nickel and pearl looks cool... Or should I just make it a paper weight? I know these little guns can be worth money but not looking like this one does.
P.s. It's not his gun, one of his buddies he plays cards with gave it to him. He has no clue what it is...
