Restoration of a 1880 British pocket Bulldog revolver loader 150 years ago !
These small pocket revolvers in calibre 320 were mainly used in Europe to defend oneself in the street and against stray dogs.
This one was forgotten for more than 150 years and found totally blocked, with minutions from that time inside.
The restoration process includes several steps:
- unlocking the cylinder
- disassemble the revolver
- remove the rust with an electrolysis
- copper plating the frame
- nickel plating the frame
- reassemble the revolver
- test with a blank ammunition
This video is only a restoration of an historical object and in no way about the apology of weapons.
