If the barrel is in sufficient and safe condition, do you plan on shooting this gun? With a brand-new stock, you don't have to worry about recoil causing strain on old wood, or dislodging loose inlays! |

The reconstruction is stunning. Discussion about limit of such could be long but pointless. One could easily mention contemporary Monte Cassino or some 1000 year Old japanese temples...
Well, it is ethnographic arms forum, so for me it is good news to see old (ethno)skill of ottoman linked kathamkali/sadeli work had not vanish. I suppose some ancient Guns and yathagans could benefit If those pins would be available on market. Myself had looked for any data about them for pretty long time and in vain. How do you make those pins? Brass and tar? Wood? Epoxy? |

I was doing some small restorations as well and knows how much effort it costs. By any chance can you share what do you use to make red ornaments on mother of pearl ? |
