Looks more like cyanide colors than a torch job. Appears almost unused.
Best,

Agree with Ted. I think it was made that way.

I peruse some french on-line auction sites regularly and that style of case colouring is remarkably common. Hideous but common.

Thanks guys. Guess I'm use to seeing the bone/charcole case colors. Like I said...I don't know much...but now I know a 'little' more!
Don.
Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?

There isn't much you could buy for $650 that would be comparable to that. If I shot that gun very well, I could get used to those "hideous" colors very quickly, especially if it was a 16 or 20 gauge.
Best,
Ted

Ted Ted, I completely agree.

Cyanide colors and both very vivid and nice if you like them. Pahratazzys, Perazzi to those not using Grey Poupon mustard in your Rolls, used cyanide colors that were just as gaudy and layered like wet leaves. Took a little getting use to but after a while you just get use to them.

Like everyone else has said, those colors are cyanide. There are quite a few Spanish guns that use this method as well as the Turks. If you look at the bottom gun, 3rd post, page 1 of this link, you'll see a Turk made Hatfield with the same type of colors: http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=24270&page=1Best!
