I cannot say who might have done them, but I do not think that they look like turnbulls colors.

Seems as though there is more red than usual, most of the time they come out deep blue and purple. I guess you never know what it's going to look like until you open the pot.

The colors are very much like those remaining on guns that I have seen from the 1880-1910 era. Turnbull's don't seem to ever have the red/pink color as much as this gun. My two cents.

The colors look like "torch colors." (deleted) Stay away from this one.

I disagree in calling this one colored by torch. A torch will result in more defined heat signatures than this gun in question exhibits. I actually think the colors on this gun are pretty nice depending on the time period that one may be talking about. I have a Trojan that has original colors left and they are very similar to this one, that is where colors remain. Mostly under the top lever. Take a good look at the water table on this gun, hard to fake that with a torch.

Case Color
There is a gunsmith in Ellijay, Ga. named Bill Schawarz, this looks a lot like his handiwork. He just completed a 1909 VH for me last month, absolutely inspiring...

I've always been facinated by the case color process. Turnbull's colors are close to the originals, but every once in a while a gun will pop up that looks like it just came out of the factory. Unfortunately most of the time the gunsmith goes unnamed. Mr. Warden, do you have any pictures of your VH?
