Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well
I still don't understand people's fascination with making their guns look 70 years old...
looks really nice
planning on doing this to mine because the paint work is chipped to buggery 
except the plastic grips will be painted using acrylics 
I still don't understand people's fascination with making their guns look 70 years old...
My excuse is that it`s stamped "1915" on the frame so that means this little devil could have been in use for close to 30 years by the end of the second world war
Nice work! I think it looks pretty good.
Nice
If the standard finish is paint and will chip off in an un-realistic way then yes I see why you would want to do this.
It does look good to me also.
Free speech is expensive these days!
Awesome job.

That's a manufacturing number, not a year...
...WE copied it from the Tanaka.
There's one stamped 5159, 59 on the sub-parts, like the WE is stamped 15, not the full 1915, here's a link:
