I have become the "caretaker" of these Antique firearms which I have purchased, and collecting information such as the following disassembly guide for the S&W "Tip-up" Revolvers is very helpful.
(The above pages were borrowed from a Gun Digest Book on Antique firearm restoration, and I don't hold any copyrights and will remove the pages if necessary.)
A fellow who is interested in Antique firearms should be fairly handy with tools and working with fiddly little parts.
Being able to repair and restore Antique firearms properly is a necessity, because the shortage of gunsmiths that specialize in Antique firearms, and the fact that most broken or missing parts must be fabricated from scratch, cause the cost of sending your Antique firearm to the Gunsmith is quite high.
There are many invaluable books focused on disassembly and repair of specific Antique guns, like these pages covering the early S&W rimfire revolver models, taken from a Gun Digest Published Manual on Antique firearm restoration.
