Thanks everyone for your responses! I guess I can rest easy with this purchase.
Jut when I was talking about downsizing. You just can't kick the habit.

Looks like torch and oil to me. Judging by the small circles and the lack of edge drawback.

Thank you!

No torch colors there...
To me, it looks like a turnbull colored gun and the results were just a little more straw than normal. And the gun came oit of western NY, right Bob?

I could be wrong- the only Turnbull colored gun I have is from his very early days at it

but didn't he start stamping a mark on guns he redid many years ago?

I heard that about very early guns, but i am sure it is not being done currently or anytime recently. No frame colored for me by dougs shop has a mark on it. At least not one that is noticable by me, or any others for that matter.

As a side thought on that topic, i do not personally believe in putting your mark on a gun that you are restoring. Since the purpose of a restoration is to tey to emulate factory work in any way you can. And your mark would not be included in that endeavor.

Pictures of these fancy guns motivates me to get some spray paint and add some case colors to my best Parker. A blue can and a yellow can should do it with practice.

Any of us that have a rack full of beaters/shooters with little if any color left would die for colors like that. I really like them, perfectly correct or not. After a bit of wear they'll look plenty 'correct'.
