Nice job. What did you soak the revolver in?

I am usually not a fan of any refinishing but in this case it did turn out very nice - is it a parkerizing or some coating?

It's black dip parkerizing from Duracoat. I soaked in Kroil for a week, media blasted and then parkerized. Lock-up and timing are spot on...just had to get rid of the rust.

I also took a 10-5 in equally as bad a condition and re-blued it.
It had a large area of crusted run marks. I can only assume it was blood and maybe a suicide gun. After scrubbing it really well with brass wool and Kroil, I soaked it in a 50 - 50 mixture of white vinegar and water. It only took a few hours and all the remaining bluing was removed and the revolver was in the white.
It looks much better now and is a good shooter grade revolver.

Great looking 10 you have sir. I started my LE career with a Model 10-5 in 71. A great service revolver par excellent! Still retain one here in 2017 and was carrying a 10-6 up to retirement a few months ago. The heavyweight champ in cop .38 service revolvers in numbers produced since 1899. Thanks for showing us.
