I beleive The second gun is restored by Bachelder. The first gun is NOT.

I personally am hesitant to say if the coloring on the first gun is original or not. Since it has no wear at all. The wood finish though i am sure to be original.

The second gun has had all finishes restored. You can see that wood finishes are not original. And the colors do look just like that being produced by Bachelder. In oposition to the first gun which has a very different look to it. Mostly in patterning.
