Finished.....I think. Fixed it up with a new front sling swivel, loctighted and bedded so it should neither move nor break. Final touch, added an Amish made Distressed Buffalo Leather sling to round out the old look. Some shooting and a final coat of wax on the wood and metal is in order.
I sure was glad them gold parts wern't real gold or I'da never got em tarnished. I think its a similar plating to whats on the Susan B Anthony dollars, kinda shiny but can be expected to tarnish or forced to. Gold bright woulda been Baudy House Polished Titty Gaudy!
