he says " can you help it any?"

bluing totally gone.
nicked and scratched all over.
dirty.
right grip is bakelite plastic and is warped....left side broke in half ....upper half missing.
social security # etched in the slide free hand(right side) with an engraving pen , in large numbers.

his nickname is "flash" so i made ebony and elephant ivory grips...took a 53 parts apart and detail polished each piece.

put it all back together and here it is ......star 38 acp.

Yeah I know, but at my age, I'm not into the Superhero genre stuff, LOL, so to me its a lightning bolt. A job well done, be proud, I'm sure The Flash will enjoy it.

Super Job, Flash better zoom over there and pick it up, as after that much work I'd have a tough time letting it go.
