    A great job, absolutely 👍👍👍
    I' m a military historian and interested in "ancient" firearms. You turned a "piece of junk" into a collectable beauty..... greetings from northern germany and thank you for sharing it with everyone who likes to see a piece of history being preserved.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    Thanks for preserving the original details. Most of the restoration videos, replace most of the original parts and polish, polish , polish and polish.... to make the artifacts shine and remove tones of metal.
    Everytime when someone polishes my heart goes like .... NO PLEASE !!!!!
    Thank you soo very much for your sensibility. You know how to restore and save the artifacts from old times.

    Beautifully done, when I was 15 (1973) I found a gun like the one you restored in this video, I was up in the Sawtooth mountain range in south-central Idaho, I was hiking, and rock climbing in a place called City of Rocks. The Peppermill gun I found was at the base of granite rock that was 6 stories tall that the miners in the area called the "Tower" the gun I found was not in any way as good as shape as your find. Seeing this video brought back that memory of that day in that place, Thank you for putting up this vid.

    Treasure for everyone else: gold, silver, stuff like that
    Treasure for Andre: Rusted Jammed old gun made in the 1840's
    Good restoration :)
