Is there a market for!

The late Charles Danner would if asked 'improve' shooters (his words), by doing whatever was within his skill set to make them look better. I sent him a '38 P08 shooter with significant marring; he said he did not really have the capability to restore it but he could improve it and give it a new rust blue finish. His work was excellent, the pistol is just lovely although some of the marring remained. His standards were quite high, he seemed to see himself more as a rust-bluing specialist than a metal-restoration person.

Especially now that Charles has left us, I would think there would be some market for such a service.
