What a DW would look like with a case hardened colored frame ?

 

I know alot of the SA type revolvers and Winchester rifles look pretty awesome

with the case color look but how about a DW 15 or large frame ?

 

Gary J you up for the challenge with your photo shop abilities ?

What Dave said.  laugh  (That was the picture I was thinking about.)  

 

Just my opinion (and worth about half what you pay for it), I don't think case hardened would look good on a Dan.  I've had a couple H&R revolvers and still have an H&R 12 gauge with that look.  It's okay but I much prefer the deep blue or brushed stainless as a factory finish.  Of course this is said by a guy who is lusting over 14 with a well worn finish.  screwy  laugh

I think the case harden color pattern on a DW might look pretty good especially with a L.B. custom grip. A friend of mine had a 1911 Colt with a case harden look. It was amazing. You can also get a Damascus steel coloration on a pistol too. If I have time I might try to do a DW pistol in the case harden look.

Well, perhaps this will give you an idea how it would look. There are different patterns and degrees of the case harden colors that you can get.

I was just thinking the frame only like some of the SA revolvers.

Is that possible to do Gary ?

You know, looking at Gary's last pic now, I kind of like it. Fixed sight frame, maybe a porkchop. And a clean smooth grip without medallions. So who's going to get one done?

I wonder who or where you could get one done. I have a few candidates!

Here is a color pattern I like. It reminds me of Damascus steel

a little. This is a  Caspian Damasteel slide from Sweden. It has

a beautiful pattern to it.

A place called Turnbull enhances the color of the steel. makes

the pattern stand out more. The same address as above. A fellow                              

I know had his frame done like this.
