These pictures have allready been taken after I had allready restored the weapon, but I simulated the restoration by taking the weapon apart.  Just imagine all these pictures+a lot of dirt, and you get the original restoration!!!

here is the weapon on the workbench

The first cover is off, when the screws are not extremely rusted and stripped, it comes apart fairly easily

now, both covers are off and the pump handle as well.

the underside of the barrel comes off.  Also on this piece, the pump slide unscrews as well.

here are all the pieces apart(mostly) and they are allready cleaned.

Here is a closeup of the trigger mechanism.   It is very strange how it works.  It is like a ball valve, like the screwable pieces you can put on the end of a garden hose.  The lever operates the trigger by way of threads.

Here is a picture of the front of the gun, showing both nozzle caps off.

here is a close up of the repair I did to the handle for the restoration.  I could have put the original handle back on, but it's strength would have been compromised.  Anyway, this works great.
