M1891 Danish Navy Revolver

[metalcruncher]

I spent the weekend cleaning some of my older revolvers. I always watch someone on you tube do it first. Just to re-familiarize myself with the procedure. One of my newer acquisitions is this M1891 Danish Navy revolver. I haven't had the chance to get it apart until now and unfortunately, there wasn't much information on the internet. I'm sharing some photos below for reference for anyone else that decides on a thorough cleaning.

To remove the handguard, you have to pull on the lanyard ring.

To remove the unit id discs, I couldn't find a spanner-type screwdriver big enough so I ground down some old pliers to fit the slots.

The revolver stripped as far as I can go. The remaining screws needed eyeglass kit sized screwdrivers and they were just too weak for the screws.
