Question on original finish

PACKET · 06-09-2003, 10:26 PM

Tom, I am quite certain that all parts are matched and original. When you refer to "chemically cooked" what exactly do you mean? I can see that one might reblue the gun if the original finnish were all but gone. Do you think someone tried to rust blue it and botched the job? I have seen bad cold/hot bluing, but this doesnt look like it. As for shooting this one and finding another collectible, I have to agree with you. While Thor's work is splendid, it is expensive. Thanks again for the advise.
