Fellows,
I never intended my comments to indicate I thought Turnbull restored this gun! I only mentioned his name because I felt the frame polish/finish is similar to what Turnbull's re-case hardening process looks like. I feel that this is probably a legit original gun.
There has been a lot of discussion here over the years about what original finishes should look like. My comments were meant to point out some of the features I am seeing in this gun. Not to suggest that it's a restored gun by anyone!!
