<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SamS, post: 7794429, member: 11518&quot;]I&#039;m finally beginning to collect antique flintlock pistols and have acquired my first one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d like to do all the restoration but I&#039;m at a loss with how to properly go about this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I want to restore the metal portions as best as I can, specifically to get all the black out of them but does anyone know how I can do this on the barrel without removing the silver inlays? The other metal portions should be easy to restore with basic metal polish but I&#039;m concerned about stripping the silver inlays on the barrel and loose all that beautiful scripting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the wood, I want to restore as much of the original color as I can. Is it possible to get the wood to it&#039;s original brown and remove all the dark portions? If so, what products should I be looking to get?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.gunsinternational.com/listings_sub/acc_60753/gi_102062245/Spanish-Percussion-Belt-Hook-Pistol_102062245_60753_3DD8176CD29F554E12.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.gunsinternational.com/listings_sub/acc_60753/gi_102062245/Spanish-Percussion-Belt-Hook-Pistol_102062245_60753_1DA6FDB9ACA4658312.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.gunsinternational.com/listings_sub/acc_60753/gi_102062245/Spanish-Percussion-Belt-Hook-Pistol_102062245_60753_5417FE74B9473E042.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.gunsinternational.com/listings_sub/acc_60753/gi_102062245/Spanish-Percussion-Belt-Hook-Pistol_102062245_60753_1BB4129DF5A824D62.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
