Cibola Al Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I recently came across an image of an original Winchester 1873 rifle with nickel finish that sold at auction for $27k. Just for comparison I loaded an image of a Uberti imported by Taylor’s left in the white (white heat-treated finish (cared for like blued steel)). I always thought that the white rifles might look very historical, but now I think they’d be just fine. For some reason I’m having trouble adding the images. I’ll try again later.

Hampton Bogs Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 They sell them like that for people who want to finish them themselves, like artificially age them(which uberti sometimes does, i have an 1866 carbine that was artificially aged from the factory and I did my own work on it as well won’t let me add a photo. i also have a walker, and saa clone artificially aged, Cimarron calls it their original finish, Taylor’s calls it antiqued and uberti calls it the old west finish) engrave it, send to turnbull, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
