I have NOT wanted to comment on this thread or Magnum's avatar for fear of generating more interest in these old guns. I want one to shorten and have a custom gunsmith make into an heirloom belly gun. Someday!
CCH hammer, and creamy blue on everything else. A front sight with a pretty brass or ivory bead. I have a box of Remington 38 s&w somewhere.
Belly gun.

Tinker you have a very good knack for bringing new life to unsightly firearms with very good taste! Another fantastic job!

Great work!! Are these safe to shoot with factory .38 S&W ammo? I've got one like you posted as well as a couple of lemon squeezers, and a double action (all hinged pop-tops). They are all in .38 S&W. I'd love to shoot them one day.

The Remington ammo is loaded at about 650fps. Should be safe for even the 140 yr old guns that are in good working order.
