Bill Schwarz's colors match original Fox and Parker colors to me. Bobby

Bobby,

Do you have any pictures of Bill Schwarz's case color work? I'd love to see it, the most crucial part of a restoration in my opinion.

"Creak Side" used charcoal case hardening---close to the original CC---I am not sure, but I think it was Doug Turnbull's dad

yes, the Creekside gun shop was run by Doug Turnbull's father - Doug actually started his CC efforts in the store. The father closed the store (if I remember correctly) after a break in at the store, with some of the stolen handguns ending up in the nearby streets of Rochester.

I went by the old store site last week, the big faded wooden sign is barely readable.

That was the only gun shop I knew of where you could try before you buy. It was a little scary sometimes. There was a shop in Geneva that had to close after they were robbed, it seems when a gun shop is robbed and guns end up on the street it's the fault of the business not the bad guy.
