cliff: nice looking gun. not much apparent color left. however, engraving and lighting may have distorted that.

have begun to notice that some early pre ww1 english case coloring appears to be duller and not as colorful as work typically done here? do you agree? in any event, it is a joy to see guns with high percentages of original factory color.

i wish it was safe to reproduce factory high heat bone charcoal case coloring without worry about the negative effects of altering original factory heat treating of the receiver metal. the good news is that in recent years, i have seen less and less of guns damaged due to incorrect receiver heat treating. seems like the case rehardening guys are getting better and better at their trade?

keep it simple and keep it safe...
