Before & after
Restoration stories.
A place for documented transformations, with context on each firearm’s condition and the work selected to preserve it.
Project gallery coming soon. The panels below are prepared for authentic Elder Iron Arms project photography. Representative descriptions show how each completed project will be documented; no stock imagery is presented as actual client work.
Classic sporting rifle
Planned case-study description: Condition on arrival, areas of corrosion or finish loss, mechanical observations, and any stock damage—followed by the selected conservation or restoration process and the reason that scope was appropriate.
Vintage field shotgun
Planned case-study description: Detailed notes on barrel and action finish, wood condition, fit, and function, plus a concise record of rust bluing, stock repair, mechanical work, or conservation performed.
Historic service arm
Planned case-study description: Historical context and condition assessment paired with the rationale for preservation, parkerizing, parts repair, or other period-conscious treatment.
