I have an old Triplelock that has been renickled and customized. If the gun letters as an original nickle gun with a four inch barrel Iam thinking of having a high dollar restoration done to get it back to like new factory condition. It will need the lettering to be restamped or recut by an engraver, including the S&W shield on the side plate redone, then the gun renickled and the hammer and trigger case hardened. Can this work be done, who would you have do the work and whats a ball park firgure on having this work done? I got it very cheap so I would be willing to spend $2000-$2500 to have it done right maybe more. Is this doable? The mechanics on the gun are rock solid and it has a perfect bore. This gun is going to be a keeper, it will be in my safe when I pass so Iam not doing the work to resell it. Your thoughts and info are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Matt
