Well went ahead and rescued this one!! 44 Flat top 3085

Post by tyler4656 »

This one was beyond having (Character) it was headed for the bone pile. When it came in the hammer was actually rusted solid into the frame. So we gave it life and I thought I would share pics. It was lost in a barn in Oklahoma for over 20 years. These kind are worth the extra work for me!!!!
Thanks Bobby
