Diamond Magna's
« on: May 12, 2011, 01:23:14 PM »
I purchased these at the local Pawn Shop ($10), they are missing a medallion and are a little worn. Can someone point me to where I can purchase a set of Medallions and possibly have the grips restored.

You can buy S&W medallions from them.
Strip the old ones yourownself and restore them with Tru Oil/Tung oil or such---you should be able to find a lot of how to's here or the S&W forum.

Here is a link off the S&W Forum.  This guy seems to do good restoration work.

Hello Ray
Those appear to be a set of P.C. Magnas. Have you tried to Place them on your revolver ? They look a Little Wide  at the top of them to me to be for a K-Sq. Frame they may be the much harder to locate-N-Square frame Magnas. P.C. Magnas got their name from the Beveled edges they have as they were designed for Plain Clothes detectives. Regards, Hammerdown

Might you know where I can purchase a pair of Silver medallions, I have the black washers.

Thank you Sir.

Hammerdown, I referenced you when I emailed Dutch, and I dropped a money order in the mail this morning.

Thank you for the information, Now I have to remove what is left of the finish and Linseed oil them.

Again Thanks,

Ray

Hello Ray
The easiest way to remove that old finish without hurting the wood or checking is to soak them in Acetone. It will take awhile to get all of that old Lacquer finish and gun oil off them, but even if they sit over night in it, it will not harm the wood or checking. Once you pull them out use a Metal bristle brush to scrub them dipping the brush back into the acetone to flush away the old finish and oil that has soaked into them. Remember to use rubber gloves while working with Acetone it is not People friendly. I hope this helps Please post a picture of them finished... Hammerdown
