Rebluing expert

[PinnedAndRecessed]

I'm looking to have a handgun reblued. Years ago I had a top smith reblue a handgun with a deep blue mirror polish finish. He's no longer in biz.

Any recommendations?

What kind of gun?

I'm sending my S&W back to the factory for a high polish blue. Won't cost too much, either.

Colt Python.

IIRC, Colt will still apply the Royal Blue finish to their revolvers. I'm not sure about the prices, and last time checked you can't get it from the website. Call them for details.

Colt bluing today is good but not as good as days of old.

Nobody does bluing better than Doug Turnbull at Turnbull Restoration.

Your Python will come back as good as new.
Doug does Colt Royal Blue better than Colt can.

Opps wait a minute.
Turnbull IS the one that Colt uses for restorations.
So in reality he is the ONLY one doing a true Colt Royal Blue.

I knew Colt had to be able to do something right.
