Default 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?

Mr. Turnbull's shop did the receiver and related parts on a VH 12 gauge for me. It was an expensive project, but in the end, I was quite satisfied with the result. The paperwork will always stay with the gun, answering all questions for future owners.
