Rare Pistol Lighter Restoration - IMCO 6900

Restoration of rusty gun shaped pistol lighter. I will restore this cool looking cigarette pistol lighter and make it work again.

I bought this lighter from ebay for $10 which may seem a lot but these sell for much higher prices in good condition because they are very collectable and the company eventually stopped manufacturing lighter in 2012 and the brand was aquired by Japanese company Windmill. ABOUT THE RESTORATION: The disassembly is quite simple. Only the wheel and other parts held in place by the pin that goes through it need a little effort to remove. I used a precision drill
