Sure, I'm not disputing the quality of the work, only the historical accuracy. "Paint a Purdey Purple", if that's what you desire. As long as it's your gun. The issue comes up when the term "Restoration" is used. "Wood and metal completely refinished" would probably be more apt.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
