Hello. Been a while since I logged in here but need some input. I just bought a well-worn 1914 manufacture Colt Model 1903 Pocket hammerless that I want to have spiffed up and refinished. Yes, I know that some of you hardcore collectors may think it heresy to do such a thing, but I want to get this thing dolled up to better-than-new condition. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations with someone who can conduct this type of work? Indeed, I may need to replace some parts on it and I'm confident that I can do most of these myself. So it would basically be a scrub down and a refinish.
I already have a 1926 manufactured one that is in very nice shape--all original with a two tone mag. And when Colt did the reissue last year I wanted one, but decided to instead get a beater original and have it parkerized or blued. Finally found one for the right price at $350.
