Thanks guys
You all know that when I post these little excursions I am just fishing for compliments.
Noel,
Thats a good one. Trust Uberti to make sure all of the faults of the originals are present in the repros. (Relax guys my tongue is in my cheek.)
Nice antique job on the 1858, SLTM. I think that is why I like the cold blue process for the ones I refinish. For one thing it is far easier and in addition the color (IMO) makes the pieces look more period correct.
In fact I was going to suggest a velcro strap to hold this lever up but I figured the CAS guys might protest. (Tongue still in cheek.)
