I have this American Bulldog (Iver Johnson) .38 circa 1897. Clearly, it has seen better days. It's a bit rusty, but no pitting. The cylinder pin and grips are missing, and the trigger has to be pulled back manually. Do you guys think it would be a waste of time trying to fix this thing up? I don't know much about the internal workings of a revolver, but there's no better way to learn than to tear something apart, right? Also, the ratchet on the cylinder is kind of worn, but it still seems to "bite" pretty well.
What do you guys think?
