rhd: i been sellin used guns for fun and profit for about 30 years now. during that time i have learned among other things, what sells and what does not sell. and also, who pays retail and who does not. i do what i do based on what works and does not work. my primary goal is to maximize sale prices in a given environment. i never continue a practice that conflicts with my primary goal.
once a gun reaches my hands, it's about money... Like the car dealers say "There's an ass for every seat". Or "there's a sucker born every minute" is that what you bring to this forum? Now where is that "ignore" button? I think you really LIKE being the horses ass of this place don't you. All the attention you need just by stirrin' the pot and ruining old guns.

How do they put it... a used car salesman never stands behind anything he sells. Just in case the Brakes Fail.
What I find interesting is that Ed says he is providing buyers with what they want, but that GH with the rainbow receiver has been up on GB for a very long time...
In regards to my bringing up the Ithaca "touch up" of case colors. I was simply pointing out that even manufacturers have used some methods of restoring color to receivers, but that it was done by much more legitimate means than torching them.
I agree that case colors touched up with cold blue would not look all that great. At least it does not sound like it would. I am sure that some heating was required to do this, but that is typical of "cold" blues. they seem to work better if the metal is warmed a bit (when I say warmed, I mean you can still handle the metal afterwards). This could be done with a heat gun or even warming in an oven.

I almost feel like if the price drops a bit more on Ed's "Pièce de résistance" it should be purchased and treated to a proper restoration. It is a shame to see what happened to that fine old gun, but it certainly couldn't be harmed anymore at this point. Could be the basis for a nice project and an example to some on the proper approach to such things.
