I was in his shop this past Thursday- he has my "project" GHE 12 just about ready. He showed me this "upgraded Repro" and it is indeed "Stunning". I can only comment about Brad's craftsmanship, as I have known him as a friend and my gunsmith for nearly 25 years. So I say this without having seen any of the Del Grego or Turnbull Parkers, whether Meriden, Ilion or the Repros.

Brad had some insight into the the coloring process on the Repros, which he explained to me in detail, but I would prefer to let him discuss that if he wished to on this Forum. I would recommend Brad Bachelder to anyone who wants first class workmanship on any fine gun, doubles, over-under, rifles, handguns- his workmanship is truly "Master Class"!!
