Firefox thinks your pictures are malware/trackers. *shrug* Dunno why, but I thought you should know...

Edit: Ok, I found out why - your pix are hosted on a facebook site.

Incredible work. I bet the owner was pleasantly shocked by the finished product!

Completely amazing. What do you think caused the finish issues in the before photos?

Thor · 01-23-2020, 05:03 PM

I wondered that too. The damage was in spots localized like a liquid drop of something did it. If it was from holster tanning chemicals I would expect it to be at all contact spots. Maybe the experts will know.

You're right Eric, I even recommended him to people that in another two gun-forums asked where to have their M1911s refinished, I know that Turnbull is quite famous, but Ted's work is fantastic I think.
