You didn't say when your Mod 21 was made but Win changed to hot blue process right after the war all the receivers were hot blued no mention of carbonum bluing as an option. Personally I think collectors are too far out trying to recreate obsolete blues, carbonum and niter included. Who really cares excpet a collector and the reblued gun isn't original anyway. I have a prewar 21 all original and the receiver looks the same as one made in 1960 and factoryhot blued. As I recall carbonum is done with a higher heat process and the smoke from the mixture does the coloring Sounds like alchemy to me. I'd rather plain old hot blue. Just send to to Tony and you won't be sorry.

Nice job! The barrels appear to be rust blued and the receiver hot caustic. The wood is also very nice. All in all a nice piece if Model 21's are your "thing". Best, DR. BILL

Another alternative. http://www.winrest.com. Rust bluing is not too hard to do yourself. Ditto for polishing - it is just time consuming to do right. Brent

No mention of Andy longname? I thought he was also a Win specialist with direct experience in the Win backroom doing these processes, as opposed to Galazan simply purchasing the rights.

Chuck,
It is true that Galazan "simply purchased the rights" but his shop does seem to put out "good goods". Further provenace/resale depends on "factory work", not me or John Jones down the street. There are many capable folks out there but only "Browning Factory/authorized" carries the day for re-sale of Browning products. Just my $0.02 opinion. BILL
