Thanks for the nice comments guys, but go light on the guilt trip!
seriously, I guess it is a dilemma...if it's totally original and matching, I guess best left alone....true, it does kinda have the same patina look as say, a turn of the century Colt SAA. But......they sure are gorgeous the way they left the factory....my little devil on the shoulder is whispering, "hope its mismatched" haaaa
