When the gun came in it was pitted so bad all over and had deep dings and scratches, that I almost sent it back to Rick with a note saying we couldn't help it at all. Then I decided what the heck. Rick is semi rich, he can afford my exorbitant fee. I might as well see what I can do for this old dog (the gun, not Rick, Rick is beyond help). In the pictures you can see some of the pits that we were unable to get out and still keep the Colt logo. In fact there were some pits all over the gun and some are still visible. We blued the steel parts, high polished the aluminum parts, fire blued the small parts and made some red cherry grips for it. So it is sort of a red, white and blue Colt. But it is a lot better than it was and is ready for another 60 years.
