Might as well, there are a gazillion old high standards around so it's not like it's a historic artifact. They must hold up well to see so many of them still functioning well.

Had a " Hi Standard Expert " chewing me out on facebook for destroying a rare US Property marked USA Model HD. I felt bad having to explain to him that USA HD's dont have trigger overtravel adjusters and that that US Property and ordnance stamp were obviously laser engraved. Its not even a half convincing fake to anyone who knows anything about Hi Standards. Its a quiet integral tribute gun.

Always good to give an old beat gun a new lease on life.
Nice job on the pistol for sure.

When you buy an object, it is yours to do with what you will. You buy an expensive hot rod, it's your right to drive it straight into a lake if you want to.

When asked if he wouldn't prefer to cut up a less perfect original car, his reply was "Your torch or mine?"

The Coddingtons are old time family friends on my dads side. My dad and uncle especially worked with them over decades.

What?!

No roll of bronze screen followed by a stack of screen washers? Lost like Greek fire…

I'm sure you know that there are some rarer and unique variations. I have a HD. PAX
