Default Which barrels is original, which one redone by Breck Gorman

I have a real nice CH 10ga that had it's barrels redone in brown many years ago, I had Breck Gorman redo them Black and white. One of the two is a high condition original and one is the redone set, right or left??? Can you guess which set was redone?? Breck's work is amazing in my opinion.

I will wait to reveal the answer after a few more guesses.

Left. But his work is so good without barrels in hand it's a guess.

If I buy an otherwise nice original Parker or Fox that has barrels improperly redone or has a very bad area of severe scratching from a fall or worst of all an area of bad pitting I will get them properly refinished. Kinda like if I had a vintage car with rust through a fender I would have it restored. We are fortunate to have such talented craftsmen.
