mattslaptop247 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Just picked this up yesterday. It's a Lang hammergun circa 1880. At somepoint some one has gold plated the action, lock plate and lock, not quite sure why! The barrels are going away to be re-blacked shortly and I will probably end up removing the gold plate from the action as it's a bit worn in places but I might leave the lock plates gold. Bling! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
