Anyone looking for a project?
Not sure if this was a kit. I believe it is in the white. I draw filed under the loading lever. Decided its too much for me. Thought it be a good project at the time. Maybe someone else would like to give it a shot.
No date code. It does have DGG under the loading lever.
Timing is correct and cycles good. Could use a little work. When it's first cocked it's real easy then gets a little heavy to go into full cock. Kinda reminds me of a Rogers.
I'm going to ask $275 for it and that includes shipping.
Possible trade for a blue Pietta 1858 Army.
Please excuse the pictures, they seem to load up at random.
There is one or two showing where I draw filed under the loading lever. Still needs fine finishing.

Well I come to a conclusion on this. The barrel part where I removed the "wrinkles" does not take bluing. So its not polished steel as I previously thought. In other words, its its not going to rust anytime soon. I tried it on the frame also. Will not take the blue.
