Geo,
Mark did the painting on the bottom gun which is the Yildiz. It's just the light in the photo making you think its changed as the painting is as crisp as it was when I got it back from him. Here is my first Baikal 20 that I gave to Jerry when he retired a few years ago. I rattle can camo'd it and stenciled the turkeys on it. Mark didn't do this one. Can you tell? wink Jerry won't take love nor money for it and has killed a pile of turkeys with it replacing his Mag 10 and 3" Ithaca M37 12 as his main gun.
