I know this is crass, but could you give us a rundown of exactly what all was done, and the cost of the work?
No problem......

Smith & Wesson .45 Colt Heavy Duty Model:
It started as a nice pre-war, long-action .38/44 HD, features the 4-in. barrel. Original cylinder is chambered with a small-throat/small-body reamer for best possible accuracy and performance. The taller pin-in front sight blade is regulated for Black Hills type cowboy ammo which is gentle on the guns but will give a good account of itself. Gun is completely refurbished with tuning and related action work including yoke and ejector alignment, timing, endfloat and head-spacing as indicated. Completely hand finish and remarked with the hammer and trigger recolored by Turnbull Restorations. The black powder cylinder chamfer completes the cosmetic work. And set of fancy French walnut magnas from Keith Brown.

Hope this helps
G
