Gold Actoy Lone Ranger


As I said, this one is RARE. In Jim's own words, "I bought this as a junker for parts as someone had brush painted it black, and I thought it will do for parts. But when I got it, it seemed to work quite well—just needed a new hammer spring. So I thought, why not soak it in a pot of acetone and remove the paint? So I did and under the black it was painted copper! So I also started to get quite excited as it started to show its original color under the copper. I almost fell over. It was a gold Actoy Lone Ranger. I have NEVER seen one before or even heard of one so I cleaned it up, put on a new set of grips and here it is."
