Thanks for the suggestions, Shawn and Muddyboot.

Just to be clear, this wasn't a full restoration, but a repair of the trigger mechanism. Dave's estimate said "Findings: Sure enough the cylinder stop on this revolver is broken in half. On top of that, the single action is inoperative- usually the sear tip on the hammer and rear sear are broken out. However, on yours the hammer notch is in fair condition and the rear is missing altogether! The hammer stirrup pin is also missing, but overall this will come back as a nice shooter."

Based on his March 20 comment that he just needed to reassemble and test fire, seems like at most an hour or two of work to complete it could have been done before April 14.

Based on comments on this forum and elsewhere, I'm sure that I will be satisfied with the quality of the work. I will take your advice and continue to wait patiently . . . .
