Were any of its parts replaced in order to reassemble it? If you look at Betty's photo, just above the upper right corner of the little sign, you can see where the loading ram attaches to the loading lever. The loading ram is like a little plunger to press the lead ball into the cylinder. The connection between the ram and the rest of the lever (there's a little pin there) broke into. I can not determine if the small break was ever repaired. You can see the loading lever runs along the bottom of the barrel. It has a tiny fastener at its tip. When it's released, the entire lever can be removed, which causes the cylinder to fall out. |
