Double barrel .60 cal flintlock pistol

[Fielder]

this was the Indian made gun, it sparked and shoots every time but it didn't look good, too glossy and shiny.

It is now aged to look older and look as good as it shoots.

Very nice! A few years ago they introduced a double barrel flint lock shotgun. A friend of mine got one and re-worked it to help with the "lines". At that time they were the only game in town except for custom built guns....$$$.

Very nice.

i like everything about it except the flint part.. now if it was a percussion cap, I would give it 5 stars instead of 4.5 stars

[ShotgunDave]

That's cool as all heck! The flintlocks make it even cooler.

I also have one of the DBL.FLINT LOCK PISTOLS. question what prowess did you use to antique it? BTW. it looks like an original.

[toot]

is the process a secret that you used to antique it?

[mazo kid]

I don't know how "Fielder" aged his gun, but I have done a couple or 3. On one (a revolver) I used bleach to remove the bluing. On others I used either bleach or mustard.

[ShotgunDave]

I've used white vinegar to remove the blueing and turn the steel a nice grey. Then blob mustard on here and there, to create some dark spots. It looks pretty natural.

thanks guys for that info. I have never heard of either process.

question, on most of the INDIAN GUNS, there is no bluing on them, so will this process that you have eluded too work on them. they seem to look almost stainless steel?
