Super Blackhawk out of the fire
about a month ago I had a gentleman bring in his beloved Super Blackhawk old model that was very damaged in a house fire. His 1100 that he brought too was a total loss. Most was water and smoke damaged. It never got hot enough to change the temper of the steel but it was pitted and eroded throughout. Well after a week of constant work, its back to its close to original glory.

Re: Super Blackhawk out of the fire
I have a super blackhawk, and it does not have the cylinder flutes.
I bought it back in the mid-60's - GREAT restoration! Man, I would CRY if mine went through that damage!

Re: Super Blackhawk out of the fire

Re: Super Blackhawk out of the fire
If I remember correctly, it only has to heat up to about 400* to lose temper. Unless he is very sure, I would use caution. It wouldnt take long or necessarily have to have been very close to the flame to get to that temp.
Very nice work though.
