The only note i would like to add about re-coloring any repro is that the original “engraving” on them, DHEs particularly, being that they are mostly machine cut is very shallow and lacking detail/dimension. So, the engraving can get a little lost to the eye with new bone charcoal case colors. It is always a good idea to considder having the engraving chased and embellished by hand to make it better stand out. But, that would also add a considerable amount of cost to the job.
