After Scott & I finished shooting it, we cleaned it up "real good" and Scott had a small file and cold blue in the back of his pick-up truck - so we cleaned up the breach with those... She cleaned up pretty good, huh???

Dean, the color is green. Green with envy. Thank goodness, you, Bruce and others are keeping a few examples in pristine condition so future generations can admire what craftmanship from the good old USA looks like. Thanks, George

Bruce,
Many thanks for posting those pics of a spectacular gun. I have a 12g GH that was well restored and lacks but the barrel finishing. The case colors from Turnbull are faithful to your pics.

Thanks again
Chuck
