Last month George returned to me a High Polish Hot Re-Blue job for a 6 inch S&W M29-2 that is superb!
This particular M29 had been to S&W for a High-Polish Re-Blue job, and it was returned, well, just off...a weird look to it. It was nothing like the fantastic job S&W had done for another of my N-Frames.
This was about the time S&W's customer satisfaction on refinish work was either "as good as it gets"...or "total crap". And some redo jobs were reported coming back from S&W even worse than the first attempt.
George's quality and workmanship had impressed me on some piece-work he had done for me, his reputation here was great, so instead of fighting S&W over a re-do, I spent some mo-money on this gun, LOL, and had George do the entire gun! And it is sweeet!
If my kid brought my digital camera back from college, I'll post some pics.
If Ford's is truly starting to decline (I've only used S&W and George), then really great re-finish craftsmen like George Roghaar are even harder to find, and worth the wait if necessary.
