I think mine was so cheap (it's all relative) because there was no box. There was also what they thought was a rust spot that rubbed off with my thumb. Probably just one of those blind hog/acorn kinda deals.
People like to do weird stuff with claims of "unturned" or "unfired", because many guns are test fired at the factory. To me this is silly. What happens before the gun ships is irrelevant. If you bought it new and never shot it, it's unfired. Period. If you bought it new and never cocked the action, it's unturned. Period. Colt did/does their test firing before the cylinders are blued. So their new guns are indeed both "unturned" and "unfired", since bluing the cylinders anyway. However, the gun in the ad is obviously not unturned because there's a picture of it cocked. Although the bolt notches show zero signs of the bolt hitting the cylinder, so I can live with the "unturned" claim. Not that I care because I shoot everything I own. I just get an extra thrill out of deflowering such guns.
May be a silly question, but why is it some of the case colored frames have a very blue tint like this gun and others are much more subdued?
Every gun takes the colors differently. Every maker or refinishing house does their differently too. IMHO, Turnbull's colors have more blue than those done by Colt. It also changes the appearance when a clearcoat is applied over the colors. It deepens and enriches the colors. Colt traditionally did not do that, so theirs were historically more subdued. I would wager though, that if you had a time machine and could go back to the 1870's, buy a new Colt (or Winchester), bring it back and put a clearcoat on the frame, it would look very much like Turnbull's frames.
