Daryl,
Marcus has the Folsom gun that's featured on your site. The pic is a little dark, but to me I looks like it has darker colors and more blues.
I can't help but wonder what part of the case coloring process was changed when Folsom began their production. It doesn't (at least to me) appear that they simply switched over to the same process used on Crescent guns. But, the coloring does appear different than the Batavia produced guns..
It may be an issue of the steel used, depending on where Folsom got their forgings..
So many variables, if the forgings were made from the same steel and by the same people who made the Crescent parts, and then were colored by the same process, one would think that they'd look somewhat similar. But, this does not appear to be the case..One wonders if Folsom was able to still source the forgings from Batavia..
