"Recently, at Sandy Gap Restorations, we had the honor of restoring an 18th-century flintlock rifle, a true piece of American history. The rifle arrived with heavily worn metal surfaces and a faded finish from centuries of exposure. Our expert craftsmen carefully prepared the barrel and fittings before applying a traditional plum brown patina, a finish prized for its warm, antique character. Using time-honored techniques, we achieved a rich, even patina that accentuated the rifle’s historic contours while preserving its authenticity. The completed restoration returned this flintlock to its former elegance, ensuring it remains a cherished heirloom for generations to come."

"At Sandy Gap Restorations, we recently completed a full restoration of a stunning Belgian Damascus double-barrel shotgun, a masterpiece of 19th-century craftsmanship. The shotgun arrived with faded Damascus patterns, a cracked walnut stock, and worn action components. Our restoration began with a meticulous hand-polishing process to reveal the breathtaking, swirling Damascus steel patterns, followed by a traditional browning treatment to protect and enhance the barrels' beauty. The stock was carefully repaired, refinished, and hand-checkered to restore its original elegance. We completed the restoration with a full action overhaul, ensuring smooth, reliable function while preserving every detail of its rich heritage. This classic shotgun now stands as a proud testament to history and craftsmanship."
