nice! Get rid of the phillips screws though. Not period correct. The phillips screw comes in after 1933 but on guns it never really gets established. Get some slotted head screws. If you like I will send you some. Index them so they (the slots) all point down the axis of the gun. Use Truoil for your finish. Put it on by rubbing it in with your fingers. It's looking good. I can teach you how to properly blue the barrels and small parts. Do not hot salt blue them. The salts will eat the flux in the solder that holds the two barrels together. You will end up with two single barrels. Cold blueing is really just cosmetic and offers little protection. They must be slow rust blued, and yeah if you can boil water you can do it. That looks like a really nice little gun, better than most I have seen. Nice job on the buttplate and grip cap.
