Hi friends!
I recently became the happy owner of a Smith and Wesson .32 Lemon Squeezer Model 2. The original owner was my great great uncle Dave. It just got passed down to me.
Sadly, it is in horrible shape aesthetically... Mechanically, everything works. Lockup is tight. Safety works. Cylinder rotates and ejects. Double action trigger works...
I know it's not worth anything. But, I'm seriously thinking about getting it refinished back to Satin Nickle. I see, online, there are many companies willing to refinish guns.
What would you guys do? Does anyone on the forum re-finish old guns like this?
I'm guessing it needs to be disassembled, sand blasted, refinished, to reassembled... Anything else?
Thank you!
