<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SamS, post: 7815036, member: 11518&quot;]Thank you all for the great replies and for convincing me not to restore the pistol <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> You&#039;ve given me some great info I was largely unaware of with respect to antiques and their value.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=16283]@bosko69[/USER] It is a Spanish pistol made in the Eibar region in 1842 by Pedro Maria Aguirre. There are two Pedro Aguirre mentioned in a book I have on Spanish pistols, one in the late 1700s and another between 1840-1850. Perhaps the Pedro that [USER=301]@komokwa[/USER] mentions is the father of this Pedro? Can&#039;t find anything to substantiate that, however.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=301]@komokwa[/USER] The lion hammer caught my eye as well! I&#039;m open to taking it apart and cleaning it. Any recommendations on what I should use?</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=13605]@Lark[/USER] I don&#039;t have Hoppes but I do have Ballistol and a slew of brushes and oils for my modern guns and rifles. Perhaps a rag with a touch of Ballistol on the wood and metal?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
