I prefer mine nice a Un-polished, 'cause if I'm waiting for someone/thing in the Underbrush or in a Tree or on top of a Hill, I don't wish to give away where I'm @ 'cause of it reflecting in the sun-light, nor do I like being Blinded myself by its reflecting capabilities while lining up my sights on my intended target.
Besides, I've Bled on her a time or 2 & it now has the Bronseish patina to her now.
ColonelFlashman:
No 'bangin' up here, just don't like being blinded. ;D :o :-*
Besides, I prefer the "Bronze" look she has better than a 'Brassy' look any day of the week.

James Hunt:
Excuse the effort at photographic composition, been reading Packing Iron again. Leave the brass alone, else you won't get that pleasing mellow patina that is seen on all old Henry's. The stock appears a little more red than it actually is. Took that Italian red paint job off and used dark walnut stain. Looks much better now, if I just had the ability to grind down those Import and Italian stamps I'd be all set.
Reb Tyree:
Very Nice Mr Hunt, good photo. I like it! What caliber is the revolver?
