A few thoughts on that casehardening color...I wondered about the colors a bit after I got the gun back. Fox guns had that sloppy 'splashed water' look that only a collector could love. I think this gun had that look on the water table. I don't know if anyone replicates that today. I had one guy do the whole gun and he uses Turnbull normally for his metal finishes. So, I didn't give it much thought other than when I get it out it looks muddy to me.

Anyone know of a source that does that blue 'splash' look today? I might consider redoing the case again.
