At one of the San Jose Militaria shows a while back I picked up this demilled frame for a 1941 Enfield No 2 Mk 1 revolver for $10. Some years before, I was given a 1943 dated British holster. Figured I'd find some grips and it would make a cool display.

 

On the hunt for an original set of grips, I kept finding bits and pieces and decided to see how far I could go "rebuilding" the gun only with original parts. The grips were about the last things I managed to find.

 

To be continued...

This is about I could get without fabricating the rest of the frame. The mechanism actually works somewhat.

 

 

All told, it was a fun project, I enjoyed the hunt, but I'm fairly sure I could have bought a complete gun for what I've paid for the parts. Hence the "Dumb" in the title.

 

Has anyone else tried something like this?

I think we all have half-a-dozen unfinished projects like this, I know I do! Good luck, you'll finish it someday.
