Hi M, I am awaiting parts (firing pin and hand) from Jack Frist, Inc. My revolver is presently disassembled. However, it is probably rated as being in NRA poor condition. I'm awaiting a firing pin and a hand from Jack Frist. The original finish was nickle (chrome?) but it has virtually disappeared. Chris (this forum) gave me valuable advice (see his post above). Still I might (if I can get it up & running) just cold blue it and, hopefully, per Chris's advice, shoot it. Not counting new repro black powder items (ie, Colt Walker) I have seven old handguns in cases. I say old, but two of them I may have carried 1964-73!!?? (M1911A1). If the parts I'm awaiting are correct and per Chris, I can get 50 or so rounds of ammo, I'll fire and box it! Might be dumb but I like to do this. If I can get this thing back together again I'll try and post pics. Thanks for your interest! Ray
