Default 1920's S&W

Last night I had an older revolver show up for some work. From what I can tell the pistol was a Spain made S&W from the 20's in 32-20. I might be wrong as I have been once. The guy that brought it in was in his 60's and says his grand dad carried it in the 30's and 40's when he was a LEO. It was in pretty rough shape. I did what I could with out bluing it as the guy didn't want to.He told me it has not seen day light in 25 years before he brought it to me.

You're close enough to be considered as a neighbor if you're in D-ville!
You have a gunsmith shop?

Very nice, I hope the cleaning didnt ruin the value. I am about to restore a Browning Hi power from the 50's myself

Cleaning will not, re bluing or refurbishing will.

As long as you dont over do the cleaning, it wont. I have personally seen a few historic pieces who's value has been completely ruined because of too stringent of cleaning
