Thanks MikeyL. This is the photo of the re-finished gun. I had already stripped it and had it re-nickled. There is alot of pitting but I am pretty happy with it. It's alot better than before.

Deacon, Everyone, I finally got'er redone. Didn't turn out too bad. thanks again.

Claude, they also have a good size library at the NRAHQ/museum in Fairfax, VA.

Thanks again Deacon

stan, google flaming bomb smith and wesson and you will get alot of info. Looks like the flaming bomb was on alot of military contract pieces.

with the bomb and the USAAF number I would think it belonged to someone in the airforce at one time, not sure though.

wow, i didn't realize that it would happen that fast. thanks for the info

digi- I would imagine that would be from salt in someone's sweat, but you never know.

Deadin, that is sweet.

deacon, What should I do once the paint is off, as far as getting the pine sol off. Rinse with water. That doesn't sound good, but maybe. Any ideas. Thanks again.

digi-, I found these interesting posts on it. http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-282769.html

I'll try and make sure not to get blood on it then. Never heard of that before, but like you said, you learn something everyday. Thanks.

Thanks mike.

smith17, Thanks. The gun is completely painted with a slick gun metal gray paint. I believe the cylinder is also painted, but yes, the whole thing, except for grip is painted.

Does anyone else have any recommendations for removing the paint without messing the rest of if too bad. Thank you.
