[QUOTE="Greg M, post: 3223065, member: 8293"] Jaybird, you are absolutely correct in part of your statement. A PROPER reblue job entails filing, sanding and polishing down to bare metal. A true professional would never dream of rebluing a gun that was pitted. The part where you are wrong, however, is on the Colt example. I have a 1903 Colt SAA in 32 WCF that was rusted and pitted, found by it's former owner in a drawer of a tool box. I purchased it at $350. It was worth about $1200, real dollars. Having the gun carbona blued and the frame, hammer and loading gate color case hardened, along with re-roll stamping the barrel and Colt info (patent, etc) will put this gun's value at around $4000, real dollars. I'll post pics when it's finished. It will be IDENTICAL to how it rolled out of Hartford in 1903. [/QUOTE]
