The specialist needs more information

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry, and I apologize for the delay. So that I can best assist you, could you please send some more pictures of the pistol with the loading gate open, and with the hammer cocked as well? Also, what do you mean by saying the gun has been pinned? Thank you very much.
