Dustin, when we got the gun it was a little darker than that, but not a whole lot. I figured it had just darkened with age. When Chris got the old finish off, I know Chris and I had a discussion about that it was going to end up noticeably lighter and were we okay with that. With Gil's say-so, I just asked Chris to use his best judgment. The light is a little funny in the top photo. In the hand, the colour looks like the bottom three pics. Real honey and smoke. I love how it turned out.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
