cripes!so close yet so far.
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 !!
Gun control means using both hands.
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

Good deals with these members
what a crying shame
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.
Thats not too bad !
A couple of minutes with an angle grinder, and that will be as good as new.
Might need to touch it up with the bluing gel though
That would clean up ok!
I bought a mk1 HW80 from my local SDS dive centre that had bad pitting on it, I used the slack part of the belt on my linisher to grind through the deepst then polished it some and Fozzie on here got it reblacked for me, It's lovely now!
As I bought it..
And as it was when I received it back, Had I gone down to 2000 grit paper it would have shone like Jet
