The brass trigger guard was severely damaged, showing breaks, dings, and dents. We managed to fix most of the damage by securing a rounded sledge hammer in a vice and using a plastic dead blow hammer to gently pound out the imperfections. The damage seemed to stem from difficulties in removing a pin that we had fixed earlier.
