Just wanted to add this:

I have recently sent 3 guns back to the Colt Factory for re-bluing, and case coloring. Believe it or not the work coming out of Colt these days is OUTSTANDING! When I brought a re-finished matched pair of SAA Revolvers over to Dan Chesiak to fit them with Genuine Ivories, he thought the work was done by Doug Turnbull. When I told him Colt did it he could hardly believe it. Actually, the word is getting around and I understand they are now backed up by about 9 months - but IMHO worth the wait. Their prices are VERY VERY reasonable! To completely strip a 4 3/4 " SAA, re-blue in Colt Royal Blue and re-case color (including all new springs & screws) was $275.00 The job was FLAWLESS! Just saying..........
