[flatheadsal]

just won this beauty on GB with a buy it now, it spent 30 yrs on a fishing boat in Alaska, and it's a liberty model, I can't wait!!!!

Yep, that ones been used enough to develop character.
I like it.
My Old Model BH .45 doesn't show that much character.

Cool, was it a Halibut shooter?

 

[Robb Barnes]

Reminds me of this old model 41 I found a few years ago.

 

[Lee Martin]

I like it.....you going leave it as is?

 

[VAdoublegunner]

That's cool. About as close to an old worn Colt SAA finish as you could hope for with a Blackhawk.

 

[Tradhunter]

Congratulations! I can feel the anticipation in your post.

I've got a Single Six from the late 60's that looks like that. Great shooter and I have no fear of scratching it. Goes with me every time I go to the farm.

thanks foe all the comments guys, it's true it has that worn Colt look to it, I think I 'll just get any real rust off and leave as is, maybe some aged stags???

I worked on a .22 rifle had belonged to an Alaska fisherman once. That revolver is pristine mint considering the weather conditions.

I'm surprised how well the grips stood up!

THAT was the guy I was waiting for, LOL

 

[flatheadsal]

I immediatlely thought of you Flatgate, when I saw it, said to myself, boy Flatgate would buy that in a second, glad you like!

 

[Lee Martin]

Glad to hear it'll stay as is. You can buy a shiney one anyday....it takes years to get the look you have. And I agree, stags would be a nice touch.

 

[flatheadsal]

a nice well worn steel gripframe and ERH would finish it off nice I think

 

[Tommy Kelly]

now that is a good looking gun. It looks used but not abused. I had rather have one like that rather than a refinished gun anyday.

 

[Wyandot Jim]

Yep A little cold blue here and there will will fix that baby right up :lol:

Good buy. I love a gun with "character." I would leave it as is.
