Ted Green (Thor) does impeccable metal work and his rust blue is the result of much experimentation and comes as close to the original DWM and Swiss finish as any I have seen. Expensive is a relative term...with Ted you get what you pay for.

I have never personally handled a Danner restoration but judging by the photos his work looks very good. I would like to see some without all of the glare so that the edges and contours can be observed. As far as the color and quality of his blue work, that would be impossible to tell from pictures...regardless of how good they are.

Here ya go Ron, one of Mr. Danners restorations, the picture should give you an idea of the sharp edges on the gun.

Harry, You have just made a serious, personal accusation against Mr. Green. Unless you can back it up, I think you owe him a public apology. Norm

I don't owe anybody a thing Norme, let Mr. Green come here and defend himself if he wants to open a can of worms. There are people on this site and others that are highly thought of that warned me about sending Mr. Green anything to restore unless you have a considerable amount of time to wait and wait, then wait some more. Thor does some beautiful work, no doubt, I am just trying to tell people so they know what to expect going in and in the process save them a bundle of money.

Regards,
Harry

To Harry and George, It seems that neither of you two gentlemen are aware of what a Ponzi scheme is. It is fraud, it is a crime, it is a very serious accusation to make publicly. I suggest that you reconsider your refusal to apologize. Norm

You seem to be under the impression that I accused someone of a ponzi. I believe my words were " can you say ponzi".

I find it somewhat hypocritical that you can cover for Thor, but you will jump on Lugerman for the same practices.
