A few weeks ago I started a new thread on a french forum about collectibles firearms to ask if someone knows where I can found someone who is able to repair or rebuild the hand.
An old guy who owns a no2 asked me to send him the hand, I think he wants to try to rebuild one for me for free because he said if he tries to repair and if then it doesn’t work, it will be over...
