@1914Mauser:

A brief update and a question.. Well... the 100 year old gun I have.... It did fire, at least a few rounds, but it jammed more rounds than not.. So time to retire the gun for good as a piece of history and a family heirloom.   

A question please:  I want to display the gun on the wall (in a "box" frame), but, I have young kids in the house and want to be extra safe.. So..after field stripping the gun, IF I were to remove the firing pin (and the spring that attaches to it) <i.e. storing the firing pin/spring in my safe so the gun is completely safe to be mounted on the wall>, would I be able to reassemble the gun, or would the missing firing pin and spring cause me to not be able to assemble it properly?  (At some point, IF I were to sell the gun, I would obviously want to be able to field strip the gun, reinsert the firing pin/spring, and reassemble...)

I suppose, if the answer to my question above is "no, you can't assemble it without the firing pin/spring", I could buy a trigger lock for it, but that somewhat ruins the "aesthetics" of showcasing it in the case on the wall .....

Thanks for the advice!

Yes, you can assemble the pistol without the firing pin and spring. Instead of keeping the part in a separate location I would attach it to the frame so that it stays with/near the pistol. Just a suggestion. I have seen too many parts that once separated were lost.
