    Weep

    Look at how crisp the screw heads, pins and linkage is on this sadly now badly rusted pre war Senior is.

    It looks to me that this pistol was once a pristine example that was only recently badly stored.

    some people don't deserve to be the custodians of air guns either by irresponsible actions or lack of actions !!

    I guess you could strip it dunk in either electrolysis or glycolic then plate with copper....buff it all smooth then plate over with dull nickel to lose the pitting...what a waste

    What a shame to see such a highly collectable pistol, one of my favourites, in such a state.
    I suspect it's been stored in it's original box in a garden shed, or garage, for decades, and just forgotten about.
