The factory referred to them as "two-tone"; usually a blued frame with a nickel barrel, cylinder, sideplate screws and thumbpiece. With a blue barrel, the example above would have been called a "reverse pinto".

I was wondering what good all those bare frames listed on Gunbroker were any good for. Now I know.

Many Thanks for all of the positive comments.
Special thanks to murphydog for the official description...I learned something new.
It was a fun project and turned out better than I thought.

A job well done. Curious, did you have to transfer it by FFL?

I got the sideplate on eBay. It took some doing but I managed to get it fit fairly well. Took a lot of patience and blue layout fluid.

I started with Flitz and ended with Mothers...and as we all know...the most important, elbow grease.
