I am restoring my first Colt SAA it came with 3 Winchesters. I am familiar with Winchester factory finishes but what did Colt use? The one I have was made in 1909 and was not case colored. Did Colt use charcoal blue on the frames?
My instinct is to charcoal blue the frame,backstrap and trigger guard then rust blue the barrel and cylinder is this correct? The customer does not want case colors so that's out. I know some of the foremost Colt guys are on this forum.
Thanks, Leland
