    Wow I really like your pistols! The grips look excellent, if you made them well done they look like they came with the gun the fit and finish is that good. The painted Junior is interesting in itself... Ive never actually seen one for real! I also saved some of your pics for reference, hope you dont mind?

    What is a good image hosting site? I want to put pics on here but haven't done it for years.

    Would it be a sin to nickel plate a weary junior. I dislike refinished guns, but strangely secretly desire a nickel plated Bsa Improved model D. Would have to bring a total relic back from the dead to justify it though.

    I dont mind what people do to their guns personally though I would feel uncomfortable if something rare was forever ruined. I saw a Hurricaine for sale on here that had been polished... looked like Elton John used to own it and I thought it looked unique!

    I will strip the Junior and hopefully get it back together and teach myself to like the worn out patina. Now that I have seen a painted Junior I'm starting to think one would look nice next to the grubby one!

    Is there a free image hosting website? I have a 2200 that I want to plop on here to swap and it would be better for everyone if they could see it.

    In both the sales and wanted sections you can upload a file directly to your thread from your PC by clicking on the picture frame - 2nd, row third from the right - select 'from computer', select your photo and upload.
