Default S&W Lemon Squeezer - Restoration

Several days ago I posted this .32 S&W hammerless I had acquired in like new but with patches of serious rust & pitting. Here pix before & after cleanup --


It still has a few minor spots to be worked but the major work on muzzle, frame & cylinder are done by Oxphoblue, after filing pitting off (cylinder) & a series of abrasive paper ending at 1500 grit. The front sight had pitting so bad as to leave original like a sharp blade so I replaced with silver. I am pleased with Oxphoblue; I refinished 1/3 of the cylinder & nearing completion was hard to tell the worked from the original. The right side of the gun had almost no distress ----->

Sir, it is not like new with patches of serious rust and pitting. it is a 32 SH
with often encountered areas of bad storage. it is still a nice little SH.
I have several and enjoy them. It is a gem and a treasure. You have done a nice job cleaning it up. Best
