Seems like the gold standard is Turnbull. Other folks certainly do a nice job as well. What type of gun are we speaking of, because some seem to do better on some colors then others.

I have used Doug Turnbull and John Gillette at Classic Guns http://www.classicgunsinc.com/both with excellent results. John is a little bit more reasonable in price. Doug is probably a little better in matching very old classics.

John Gillette does excellent work, his turn around time is much shorter and his prices are lower than Turnbull. Not knocking Turnbull, he does great work as well.

Malcolm Clark of Clark Custom Gunsmithing in CT does an okay job of CCH. He doesn't do a good job with springs, however. He has had my Boss for a year. A Lang I had CCH was back to me in under 45 days.

That's an important question because not all processes were the same and not all smiths use all processes. For Parker-type colors I recommend Brad Bachelder in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Beautiful work, less expensive and much quicker turn around than most other competent smiths.

The real expert is Ray St. Ledger in the UK. He is the only person I would trust for work on a fine gun. Some of the others mentioned above do adequate (sometimes garish) work but lack the subtle touch and tasteful patina of St. Ledger's work.
