98% of the blueing is gone from the grip area. Why not reblue it by a qualified smith? I plan on keeping it and handing it down (if I have kids) sone day.

Hi Caleb

Look, this is a nice gun, but I do not see it as an auction gun....with that being said , it is YOUR gun and if you want it done in the way it came out of the Colt factory, my re-finisher can do that for you.

As I said he will be back next week, I will be meting with him to do my two newly engraved six guns and I will take a copy of your gun photo to show him....you might be without your gun for 2 or so weeks.
