Hey all! I'm considering sending my Pedersoli P1861 "musketoon" out for defarbing. I want the rear sight replaced to that of a P1858 cavalry carbine, as I read no P1861s were ever actually imported in the Civil War.
The firm I'm looking at for the work, Lodgewood mfg. polishes the barrel to "armory bright" after reworking the markings, would that be correct for an 1858 cavalry carbine? Did they polish any old enfield armory bright back then as a general rule, rubbing off the original bluing?
Just looking for some help on this guys. Thanks!
