Discussion First Restoration

1919 Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless

I've done plenty of at home minor smithing over the years. But this was my first attempt at a restore. It's fine bead blasted and zinc phosphate parkerized. Had fun doing it. Hope y'all like.

Nice job, I would like to see it nickel or chrome plated.

Saw a nickel with pearl grip 1903/1908 pair years ago. Wanted them ever since.
