John was often recommend by Ken, our resident engraver on this board. It is not so much who does the job but how well they can match the Original factory finish. To me it seems like every maker had their own case color look. Some with more blues, some with more straw colors in them. I have had several guns recolored but now find the new colors to be too brash, too vivid. Maybe I just want a little aging to look more natural. Maybe I look too old in company of a young looking gun. wink
