It looks like they might have over polished the side plate. The edges look a bit rounded and the seam seems more pronounced. I've heard the side plate should be buffed in place not off the gun to avoid that.
That being said I didn't see the gun before it was sent to Fords. Other than my above comment I think it looks quite nice. The color case hardening is very appealing though again it may have looked that good already. All in all I like it!

This is the second Fords refinish I've seen in the last few weeks on here and other than the great lustrous blueing and beautiful case hardening, I just can't unsee that side plate seem being overbuffed. The pre 10 snub the other week had the same look as well.
As long as you're happy with it that's all that matters, please share a before pic if you're inclined.

Didn't think to take before pics. Actually, I'm happy with the sideplate. A very light orange rust was forming in the seam when I sent it in. Also very light surface freckling starting to form on entire frame (no pitting).
That is indeed a thing of beauty. I don't suppose you would like to mention how long it took and what it cost???
Did they have to restamp/engrave anything?

I have a 29 snub I wouldn't mind sending in.
That was a great job on that Jovino! I especially like the color case hardening that they did. (Amazing)
I would be happy!

That's beautiful work. I wouldn't hesitate to use Ford's. You should be proud to have that one.

Here's another opinion. The side plate treatment is exactly like the rest of the revolver...slightly rounded/softened. It's not like they come from the factory but I don't think that's what they were going for.
Personally, I like it.

That sir is a definitely outstanding. Both time & cost seem reasonable.
Enjoy it.

I really dislike those that come in and pee on your Wheaties. Your gun is magnificent. I love it. Get it to the range.

That looks pretty sweet to me.
I really like the OP's revolver. I don't go to every gun show in the Reno NV area, and may never see a "Jovino", but I've heard of the company.
Could someone tell me what model, year, and any other details on that particular revolver? I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I have nothing to nit-pick about it. It's a real nice gun. (Nicer if it were mine!)
