My very low mileage Model 51 cost about four hundred dollars. Ed could have more wisely spent his money on improving the locking mechanism. The lever position indicates heavy use and possibly a loose breech. Not a bargain at $200.

I reconize the case coloring. Old time trick of the trade. You heat up the action and stand over it and piss on it.

Did he use a green filter on his camera? The whole gun has a green cast...not that it wouldn't be ugly anyway.

Wow. Maybe it's mold. You think Hoppe's #9 could get that off?

Since case-hardening colors are so closely related to temper heat colors, localized heating can be used to alter the the colors or to add colors. A natural gas or propane and oxygen torch also works very well when the flame is very small and oxygen rich. These methods have been found to be very useful in obtaining excellent colors and consistent repeatable results.

I think the "flora" added a lot to the pictures. It would have really touched my Feminine side....if I had one.
