I bought this from member Quinn who unfortunately was not is a position to undertake it as a project. I am going to give it a try as I hated to see it in its present condition. The pistol is not as bad as the photos depict. Mechanically it is in great condition and shows little if any wear from firing. The exterior finish is not quite as bad as the photos depict with about 50% original blue. It retains its original 6 1/2" barrel length. The easiest way to proceed is, I think, to try to find a King's front sight base which is what appears to have been installed at some time then removed; failing that, to weld up the remaining base and cut a groove to replace the original style sight blade, then address the finish. Nothing to be done with the rear sight as that is beyond my welding/fabrication skills. I think I will retain the stag stocks as they really are very nicely proportioned to my hand.

For those who would question the costs vs. the end result, no, this is not cost effective. I will post progress photos in the future.
