Seems like I saw a wheel lock pistol on the "The Three Musketeers" movie starring Richard Chamberlain and Raquel Welch back some years ago.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful example of working art.

Well done indeed. :applause:

Roy I am still learning about making guns and was just wondering what processes your dad used to age the gun, it looks like the metal is pitted is that from bleach?

He just let it rust with either bleach or LMF browning then worked it back off.. :thumbsup:
