Hello, Hardcase. About case colors...While the hard shell of steel of a case-hardned surface usually goes from about .003" to .006" in depth, the "Colors" are only a few millionths of an inch in thickness..they are really only an oxide from the high heat applied. Sunlight over time, handling & holster wear will cause them to fade, or disapear altogether..what really amazes me are the original...and I mean authentic untouched Sharps, Ballards, Colts and Winchesters that still retain these beautiful colors for well over 100 years.
