Restoration

Restoration guided by respect for the original

A restored gun should look cared for, not manufactured. Our approach favors originality and long-term preservation over cosmetic transformation.

Approach

How a restoration proceeds

01

Assessment

We document the gun as it arrives — condition, originality, prior work and what the owner hopes to achieve.

02

Plan

A written proposal that distinguishes conservation from restoration, so nothing is done that cannot be justified.

03

Execution

Metal and wood work carried out in sequence, with progress photography throughout.

04

Return

Final inspection, function testing and a complete record of the work performed.
