Hope they don't try to take my new GUN!!!

Hi there fellow t-netters. I found this a few weeks back at an old homested that is now a bean field. It was a overload signal that I could'nt pass up. I'm hopin for sum HELP with it. It's 4 and 1/2 inches long and looks to be a black powder boot pistol. It has a name on it but a plow mark goes right through it. The letters are A.S with HER below it. The mark cuts off the rest of the name but there looks like the letter C way past the a.s up top. There are numbers on the handle,9350 and they look like OLD style #'s. I wood also like to know what to seal it with. THANX for any help and for lookin.. HH

Awsome find for sure Fishstick - for cleaning I would consider the hot wax treatment just as it is now.

Looks like you sandblasted it. Probably not the best thing to do with a relic like that. Awesome find nonetheless.

Not at all CHOP! It was cleaned with high pressure water machine that cools and heats in the same process to clean turbo's at Cummins. Thanx.. HH
