I'm just sooo popular!

Can anyone tell me anything about the pocket pistol? Is difficult or worthwhile to repair?

Did it cock and dry fire (carefully)? These pocket pistols have a large spring in the frame at the grip. Quite often they are missing or too weak to function because of their age.

Well if anyone is struggling, I have made several springs for pistols, it is quite easy.

Could be worth a repair but not at £80. That is about its value working.

While I was in Oregon last week I saw a 'repaired' Manton fowler in as-new condition for sale for $2500. The vendor had found the lock at a gun show - no cock,just the lock - and had replicated the rest of the gun using parts from 'The Rifle Shoppe' and other places. Every single part except the lock plate was new, and cost him around $1200 in total, including a Grade AAA stock.

Since it had Manton on the lockplate the proud vendor felt justified in calling it that.

Bit like rebuilding a Spitfire to flying condition when all you have to start with is a rusty tail wheel dredged up in a fishing net.
