I have found an original BBQ gun, an old nickel plated & engraved revolver not particularly worth a bunch of money, probably belonged to some sheriff or police chief at some time in the distant past... the nickel is in pretty good shape, but has a few flakes around the barrel cylinder gap, the engraving is very light, & tastefull... I really like it as is, but have been thinking, if there was a way to freshen the nickel, without damaging the original light engraving, I might consider doing this... AFAIK, don't most refinishers bead blast the gun prior to re-nickeling, or polishing, that may remove some depth of the original engraving???
awhile back my buddys & I were talking about BBQ guns for wearing to the couple barn dances that one of us holds a couple times a year, & this old girl would certainly be a stand out as she is, but with a fresh coat of nail polish ( nickel ) she would be the belle of the ball...
any suggestions ( including leave the old girl in her dignity ) ???
BTW... it's an old Safety Police 32 S&W top break, so it's not particularly valuable or collectable
